A CH-46E "Sea Knight" with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 364, aka "Purple Foxes," takes off Oct. 3 from the flight deck of USS Makin Island. The Purple Foxes are part of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit's special-purpose Marine air-ground task force, which is the first amphibious landing force to embark Makin Island. The ship set sail for San Francisco Oct. 1 to participate in the city's 2010 Fleet Week. There the 11th MEU plans to showcase to the public the Marine Corps' men and women, its aircraft and equipment, and its ability to conduct missions that span the overlapping spectrums of peace and combat, from disaster relief to war.
