Marines’ quick action prevents Harrier mishap
Quick action from a pilot and a mechanic prevented an AV-8B Harrier from causing injury and damage onboard USS Peleliu Nov. 30.
Captain Derek C. Bibby was preparing to take off in his Harrier when the aircraft's brakes failed. He reposition the exhaust nozzles forward to brake the plane.
Corporal Frank A. Valenzuela then ran underneath the aircraft and quickly secured it by tying it down with chocks and chains.
