Marine helicopters refuel at airport

P1230169

Two UH-1Y Venoms and six AH-1W Super Cobras stopped to refuel at the Macon County Airport in Franklin, NC on October 16, 2014 and I was lucky enough to be able to capture the event on video and take a few photos while the Marines went about their duties.

The helicopters where there about two hours in the late morning and early afternoon. You can see the photos I took on Flickr.
