U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam War veteran, Michael Bamford, a former avionics technician with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 362, Marine Aircraft Group 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, sits in the gunner’s seat while flying aboard a UH-34 Choctaw, during the Ugly Angels Vietnam reunion in Pensacola, Florida, June 21, 2025. The YL-37 Foundation hosted current and former members of the VMM-362 “Ugly Angels” to honor the legacy of the UH-34 Choctaw and Marines of the Vietnam War. The Ugly Angels, flying the UH-34 Choctaw, were the first Marine aircraft unit in Southern Vietnam to support combat operations. Today, the Ugly Angels still provide aerial assault support across the globe, operating the MV-22B Osprey. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Michael Gavin)
