11-20-2022 Video of two UH-1Y Venom Helicopters departing (5:16) the Hollywood (Bob Hope) Burbank Airport. Thank You for Watching & Please Subscribe. I put this video up so fast after just putting my one from last night and my AH-1 video on today for the pilots & crew, they are bummed out because was no footage of them doing the flyover at last nights USC vs UCLA Football Game and they couldn't find anything on YouTube. This is a big deal for these hard working U.S. Marines and they need our support and give them a big shout out. These Helicopters are from the Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369 (HMLA-369) is a United States Marine Corps helicopter squadron consisting of AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters and UH-1Y Venom utility helicopters. The squadron, also known as the "Gunfighters", is based at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California and falls under the command of Marine Aircraft Group 39 (MAG-39) and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (3rd MAW).
The Bell UH-1Y Venom (also called Super Huey) is a twin-engine, medium-sized utility helicopter built by Bell Helicopter under the H-1 upgrade program of the United States Marine Corps. One of the latest members of the numerous Huey family, the UH-1Y is also called "Yankee", based on the NATO phonetic alphabet pronunciation of its variant letter. The UH-1Y was to have been remanufactured from UH-1Ns, but in 2005, it was approved for the aircraft to be built as new. After entering service in 2008, the UH-1Y replaced the USMC's aging fleet of UH-1N Twin Huey light utility helicopters, first introduced in the early 1970s. In 2008 it entered full-rate production, with deliveries to the Marines completed in 2018.
