    Corporal Michael Miller checks the landing gear and wheel well of an F/A-18 Hornet prior to allowing the jet to take off. As a plane captain, Miller, a Covington, Ind., native, is responsible for the final inspection of the aircraft prior to its launch. "We take it seriously," said Sgt. Jose Chavez, a plane captain with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 115, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), "because the pilot's life and the success of the combat mission are in our hands."
