After a long 18 months, NAVAIR’s USMC Light/Attack Helicopter family (https://lnkd.in/e7hyNieT) welcomes back, Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 269 which was reactivated on July 1. The squadron returns after the Marine Corps conducted analysis on force management and identified the need for an additional HMLA squadron on the East Coast. HMLA-269 will resume operating the AH-1Z “Viper” attack helicopter and the UH-1Y “Venom” utility helicopter to provide operational support to II Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF). https://lnkd.in/ecYtKs3h

Lovin’ the Whiskey in the background. Welcome back, Gunrunners.
Hope we didn’t already commit to giving those Vipers away as EDA…

The SATCOM antenna relocation project on the Venom was a fun project. Enjoyed the relationship with the PMA276 and Bell-Boeing Team

1wI wish them success. But the Marine Corps can do so much better than helicopters or the Ospray today. Stop flying antiques becuse you are comfortable with them. https://youtu.be/FNgQ2KXkcnA?si=cOMlTte88HTQG-xn
