USFG PHOTO
A flight of USMC Sikorsky HUS-1 (UH-34D) Seahorse helicopters of Marine medium helicopter transport squadron HMM-362 in flight over the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, 1962.
On April 15, 1962 Operation Shufly was initiated when the HMM-362 ( US Marines Medium Helicopter Squadron 362 ) landed at a Japanese fighter strip 3 miles from Soc Trang, southwest of Saigon, in the Mekong Delta in the Republic of South Viet Nam. This was four months after the first american helicopters arrived.
