Our PKL H-1 team at Cherry Point, NC just completed a phase on UH-1N, BuNo 160455. This is the last Phase on a UH-1N for the active duty Marine Squadrons. HMLA-467 will start to transition to the Yankee’s next month. According to HMLA-467, they are the last active duty squadron that has UH-1N’s, and this will be the last phase inspection we do on a Huey.
Program Manager Pete Vickery spent 20 years of his Marine Corps life and 13 years of retired life working with these aircraft. Many of our employees have also reminisced over their years working with the Hueys.
Thanks guys for all your hard work and dedication to this aircraft!

An article was written and published recently on DVIDS discussing the ways in which MCAS Miramar stays safety smart. Written by Lance Cpl.
