1976-1978, I am researching an aircraft accident in which a helicopter crashed and landed in southern California, leaving from MAG-13 Yuma, Arizona, to its place of origin, Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron, Tustin, California.
Apr82-Oct85, I was assigned to MAG 42, active duty, 6113/6167. My CH-53A was MS 487, BuNo 152415. If I remember correctly, it’s former tail number was YN 13.
