Parrish Hall II, a native of Michigan and a UH-1Y Venom crew chief with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron (HMLA) 167, fires a GAU-17A minigun during a flight over the coast of North Carolina, March 26, 2024. HMLA-167 conducted precision-guided munitions delivery to familiarize designated pilots and ordnance personnel with proper procedures for firing and handling multiple ordnance types. The live-fire training allowed HMLA-167 to enhance integration with the joint force while training in aviation operations in maritime-surface warfare. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
