SUEZ CANAL TRANSIT


Aircraft of Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron-264 (REIN), 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit are parked on the flight deck of the USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) during the transit through the Suez Canal, March 1, 2009. The transit marks the USS Iwo Jima's departure from the Fifth Fleet Area of Operations to the Sixth Fleet Area of Operations and the last time a CH-46E will cross through the Suez Canal due to the phasing in of the MV22-Osprey.
