Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 165 (HMM-165) was activated on July 1st, 1965 at MCAS Santa Ana, California, flying the CH-46 Sea Knight. The squadron saw combat action in Vietnam during the later 1960s and then again in the Arabian Gulf in the 1990s. In June, 2010, the squadron transitioned to the MV-22 Osprey and was re-designated Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 165 (VMM-165).
Designed to meet a US military need for a VTOL aircraft that could carry combat troops, the V-22 Osprey was first flown on March 19, 1989. This multi-mission aircraft has an instantly recognizable appearance, and has been steeped in controversy almost since its inception. With its tiltrotor design, the Osprey can perform the same tasks as a conventional helicopter, but it has the speed and range of a turboprop aircraft. Several catastrophic crashes early in its service led the media to decry it as overpriced and unsafe, but the military disagreed and the aircraft has remained in service, successfully completing combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
