itshistory Posted August 8, 2017 Share #30 Posted August 8, 2017 HMM-365 and a very scarce "Stingers" Vietnamese hand embroidered patch.

Salvage Sailor Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share #37 Posted August 18, 2017 HMH-366 HAMMERHEADS, Kaneohe Bay, 1990's Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron-366 (HMH-366) was originally activated on September 30, 1994 at MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii as part of Aviation Support Element Kaneohe (ASEK). As the fourth active CH-53D Sea Stallion squadron, it was the only Hawaiian home-grown helicopter squadron in active service in the Marine Corps. The squadron's callsign, "Hammerhead," was inspired by the fact that Kaneohe Bay is home to the world's largest hammerhead shark population, and the original unit patch featured a hammerhead shark leaping over an airborne CH-53D.

IH 265 001.jpg Different version HMM-265 DRAGONS Gulf War - On September 1, 1977 HMM-265 was reactivated at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii (Now VMM-265) In 1990 and 1991 the Dragons were attached to the 5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, Marine Air Group 50. During Operation Desert Shield, they took part in Operation Sea Soldier IV the largest NVG troop lift ever in Marine Corps history in the country of Oman. The squadron then waited on amphibious shipping in the Persian Gulf awaiting the start of combat operations. The Dragons were part of the 5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade’s amphibious feint into Kuwait, which succeeded in drawing the attention of Saddam Hussein’s forces away from the actual attack that occurred inland. Upon conclusion of hostilities in the Persian Gulf region, HMM-265 returned to Hawaii. While en route, they were called upon to provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief to the country of Bangladesh during Operation Sea Angel. During the operation the Dragons flew 770 Phrog hours in ten days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share #43 Posted July 2, 2023 HML-267 STINGERS Huey Squadron 1968 to 1987 (pre & post HMLA-267) Vietnam As Marine Corps participation in the Vietnam War continued to increase, the subunit of Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron 30 (H&MS-30) at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton was re-designated as VMO-5 on December 15, 1966 becoming a full-fledged training squadron. The squadron originally fell under the command of Marine Helicopter Training Group 30 (MHTG-30), 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and was equipped with a complement of UH-1E Hueys and OV-10 Broncos. In March 1968, the squadron was re-designated HML-267 and remained on alert status while training replacement pilots and crew for the rest of the war. In 1971, reorganization left the squadron with only UH-1E helicopters, and by the end of 1976 only UH-1N aircraft were flown. Post Vietnam Beginning in the 1970s, every six months HML-267 rotated one-third of its assets to Marine Corps Air Station Futenma on Okinawa, Japan. The Hueys were joined by another aircraft in 1982 as the new AH-1J Cobras were deployed. As part of the Unit Deployment Program (UDP) starting in 1983, HML-267 began a regular cycle of six months in Okinawa, 18 months on Camp Pendleton. During this time the squadron participated in numerous training exercises including detachments to Korea, Guam, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Iwo Jima, and Australia. The squadron was again re-designated as HMLA-267 in 1987, the squadron received its first complement of AH-1W SuperCobras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
