    Lt. Col. Victor Maduka, commanding officer of Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367 “Scarface,” speaks during a welcome aboard ceremony at the Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, flightline, Sept. 17. The squadron was activated in 1943 as Marine Observation Squadron 351 and supported campaigns in both Peleliu and Okinawa. The squadron was designated HMLA-367 in 1969 and adopted its call sign “Scarface.” Since then, HMLA-367 has supported missions during Operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. The squadron flies UH-1Y Huey and AH-1W Super Cobra helicopters. “The hangar that we’re operating out of, Hangar 101, bears scars from the infamous attack on Dec. 7, 1941, and that serves as a daily reminder to us why we’re here,” said Lt. Col. Victor Maduka, HMLA-367 commanding officer. “Scarface is very humbled to train here in the remarkable Hawaiian island chain. I can’t wait to push out and contribute to this ‘ohana’ as we move along.”
