UH-1N Hueys sit at the Camp Bastion flight line, Oct. 15, awaiting their next mission. The original Huey retires with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169 after more than 30 years of Marine Corps service. The Huey has been involved in all major Marine Corps operations since 1971. The UH-1Y Venom, the upgraded version of the UH-1, arrives later this month with HMLA-367.
