When I was a grunt with 1/3/3 in "67 we were operating off the LPH Iwo Jima. The squadron that supported us had a Yankee Lima call sign and had decal "eyes" on the front of the chopper.
What squadron was that. Never failed to drop me in deep s--t.
but they always came back and pulled me out.

YL-YP

The "Evil Eyes" was HMM-163, but their call sign was YP. HMM-362 was YL and in '67 they both were operating UH-34D's. FYI, the Eyes weren't decals, they were painted on by a talented metal shop!
