Marines prepare to refuel an AH-1W Super Cobra helicopter during a forward-arming and refueling point training exercise April 3 at the Central Training Area. Upon landing, the Cobra was refueled as part of an exercise to familiarize Marines with the procedures for refueling a helicopter while the engine is still running in order to expedite the aircraft's return to the air. The helicopter is a part of HMM-262. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Nicholas S. Ranum) Marines forward-arm, refuel helicopters during FARP exercise 130403-M-DU087-742
