Marine Air Group 56
Looking for information on MAG 56 from 1967 to 1969 at LTA Santa Anna, Calif. I was with MAG 56 from Jan. 1967 until Jan. 1968 and then HMM 163 until Jan. 1969. This is what I remember:
HMM 364 (46s), HMH-462 (53s), VMO 6 ("huey gunships") and HMM 163 (46s) but it seem that there was one or two more squadrons. I thought that we had three CH-46 squadrons (HMM 364 & HMM 163 & ???), two CH-53 squadron (HMH 462 & HMH 463 ???) and VMO6 station at Camp Pendleton.
Thanks for any help I can get

By the way that base is being removed, literally, one of the hangers is gonna be demo'ed, the other will remain as museum. land is being developed for housing and businesses...went there sept 27, 2007 and took photos , so got them and the memories
