MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. --Marine Medium Helicopter

Squadron 165 (Reinforced), the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum and Marine

Corps Air Station Miramar joined forces commemorating the 35th anniversary of

Operation Frequent Wind and the unveiling of "Lady Ace 09," the

CH-46E Sea Knight helicopter that evacuated Ambassador Graham Martin from the

South Vietnamese Embassy in 1975.  Hundreds of Marines, their families, local

veterans and other guests gathered at the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum to

view the aircraft that flew the historic mission exactly 35 years ago today.

The pilot who flew the mission in 1975, Col. Gerald L. Berry USMC (Ret.) was

also on hand to celebrate the event. The aircraft, bureau number 154803,

entered service in February 1968 and flew with several squadrons until April

2004 when it was retired and given to the Leatherneck Museum. There it sat with

its traditional paint and last squadron’s markings. Lieutenant Col. Todd J.

Oneto, commanding officer of HMM-165 (REIN), noticed the aircraft and its

markings in the museum and decided that the aircraft needed to be restored to

its Vietnam-era appearance to commemorate the historic mission. Four HMM-165

(REIN) "airframers" were commissioned to repaint and restore the

aircraft to its current condition. All paint and markings are exactly the way

the aircraft flew in 1975. After being unveiled, Lady Ace 09 goes back on

display in the museum, surrounded by more than 30 other historic Marine Corps

aircraft. Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 165 (REIN), part of the 15th Marine

Expeditionary Unit, will complete its final deployment with the CH-46E

airframe. Upon its return, Oneto will personally oversee the squadron’s

transition to a Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron with the MV-22 Osprey

airframe.
