A new squadron of MV-22B Ospreys has been activated at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, marking the end of a modernization transition for Marine aviation and the return of a historic unit to active flight status. When the Marines deactivated Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 362 in 2012, it wasn’t clear if — or when — the “Ugly Angels” would return.

Spent a predeployment summer at Le Juene in 2011... I'm not sure there's anything louder than an Osprey. I always loved them. Let's see if I have the "over the rainbow" photo around... nope, but here they are, for some odd reason, flying up the 295 corridor of DC on 14 Jan 2015

Nicci Eisenhauer Now that is a Cool Picture. I'm so used to Seeing Chinooks around here but to see that would definitely whip my Head Around.

It was totally weird. I think I was on the way to something important, too. Felt like my Ugly Angels were talking care of me!
