1984 My first Huey as a Crew Chief at HMLA-269. Had her until I went on Med Cruise w/HMM-162 and picked up 159187. This is the ship that went in and the pilot, Maj D.H. was lost HMM-162
I was the Crew Chief on the 160444 in 1994. We were only with 365 for a Med Float but orignaly attached to HMLA 269 160444 it was probably reworked in 1992/3 in Texas The last I heard 160444 had a hard landing in Iraq
