Marine Aircraft Group 24’s rifle detail stands at parade rest during a memorial service for retired Marine Col. Vincil W. Hazelbaker at the Hawaii Memorial Park Cemetery, March 24, 2017. After the ceremony, helicopters from MAG-24 conducted a missing man formation, which is an aerial salute performed during a flypast of aircraft at a memorial event, typically in memory of a fallen pilot. Hazelbaker was a Marine aviator who served in the military for 34 years. During his service, he flew more than 680 combat missions and earned the Navy Cross for his extraordinary heroism during the Vietnam War
