908th OG SMAs continue gaining Grey Wolf experience
U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Justin Nettles, special missions aviator with the 908th Operation Group, 908th Flying Training Wing, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, looks out of an MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopter after landing, April 22, 2025. One of the roles for special missions aviators is performing visual terrain and obstacle clearance checks to ensure the landing zone is clear of hazards like trees, wires, uneven ground, or personnel. This provides real-time guidance to the pilots, helping maintain situational awareness and ensuring a safe, precise landing—especially in unimproved or tactical environments.
