Original - Explosive Ordnance Disposal 1st Class Christopher Courtney of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Six (EODMU-6) assists his team members during Special Purpose Insertion/Extraction training between a Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk helicopter and the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69). Special Purpose Insertion/Extraction involves either a person or goods being lowered or raised from a helicopter above terrain on which landing would be difficult.

  • Support Very eye-catching. Very interesting, privileged, and rare point of view. Greg L (talk) 19:49, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Very interesting and striking, but I can't really see the value of the image in the article on the ship. The training/the exercise is not even mentioned in the article. J Milburn (talk) 19:58, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, that’s a good point: insufficient EV. This picture adds boat-loads (no pun intended) of EV to Special Patrol Insertion/Extraction. It’s a small article and the addition of this picture might require a {{-}} tag to control the flow of page elements. I don’t think having two pictures in that article would detract; far from it. The picture that is there now would lead one to think that insertion and extraction is a low-level activity (30 meters or so off the deck at most). No matter how wide the lens was here, this is clearly up more than 30 meters. Greg L (talk) 20:11, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, liking it. It was worse weather last time I did it, but it'll do. J Milburn (talk) 21:56, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Loving the decals on the helmet too! Great picture tho, really like the parked planes - excellent example of valet parking! gazhiley.co.uk 12:57, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
