VNAO is pleased to announce the forthcoming commissioning of USMC Helo Squadron HMLA 276. The squadron will fly the KA-50 Black Shark in USMC paint. HMLA 267 has a long history going back to WWII flying the OY-1( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMLA-267)



Presently the home port of the "Stingers" is Camp Pendleton, CA and they fly the AH-1W Super Cobra and UH-1N's



In developing this online concept of joint LOMAC/Black Sharks, we have been flying MP missions with the F/A 18, F14, and A10 and the KA 50. Last Friday we had 14 pilots, 3 in Helos.

Any pilot interested in joining the VNAO and flying the helo during online missions in this squadron, contact me via our forums page linked from our main web page. http://www.virtualnavairops.com) or via my e-mail: starrron1@bellsouth.net
