| Gary Doss , OK | The posted pictures of YL-37 were taken at events where she has been on display as a hands on educational experience. She has been on view to thousands of students where she lands along with flight crew. Marines of HMM-362 flew YL-37 in Vietnam during the years 1965 - 1968. Squadron members who served with her while in country escort her. She is hangered in Inola, Oklahoma. With the exception of a new paint scheme to match the historic squadron's colors, she was as ready to fly as the day she was sentenced to the graveyard of military aircraft. 07/22/2002 @ 20:57 [ref: 5358] |
