The "Shade Tree Mechanix" with HMM-262 reattach the propellers to one of the squadron's CH-46E helicopters after completing the third inspection phase in a four-phase process. The Marines disassemble aircraft to inspect and repair discrepancies, then reassemble it to return the "bird" for another 150 hours of flight before it returns to the squadron hangar to undergo another inspection.
