A1-restinlg gear Eersonnel recover these aircraft and the often- tiredpi ots. V A fVisual Landing Aidsf is a part of our division that permits the approaching pilot to make a safe landing on a pitching and rolling flight deck. The Division Office takes the bu k of all paperwork and controls the administration, maintenance and supply duties for V-2. All of these areas are essential in a combined effort to secure normal day and night flight operations. I have held many iobs in V-2 since coming aboard KENNEDY. At present I am the Arresting Gear Dec Edge Operator. My Lobis located on the flight deck, as are most of the jobs in the ivision. The men of V-2 work long hours, and the work is often tedious. After the normal flight operations have ended, many of us have to work on the e uipment. Completing this maintenance is usually a great chacllenge. In summary, V-2 Division is a If-reat team of 111 men and 5 officers who are second to none. s the old sa ing goes, We can hack it. I am sure V-2 will hack it even afiyer I have left and gone home.
