U.S. Marines with Marine Light
Attack Helicopter Squadron (HMLA) 167 load ordnance on a
UH-1Y Venom and an AH-1Z Viper that the Marines then fire
their respective machine guns, GAU-21 and GAU-17, along with
the AH-1Z Viper firing an air-to-air missile flying in a
desert environment over Marine Corps Air Station Yuma,
Arizona.
The purpose of the training was to
increase the squadron’s proficiency in expeditionary
close-air support, shore-based operations, and defensive-air
maneuvering.
