Earn your quals on the Scarface flight line—HMLA-367's flightline qualification patches, recognizing the Marines who keep Vipers and Venoms mission-ready at Camp Pendleton.
Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367 (HMLA-367), the "Scarface," is a combat-proven light attack helicopter squadron assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, I Marine Expeditionary Force, based at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California. The Scarface squadron operates the AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter and UH-1Y Venom utility helicopter, providing close air support, armed escort, armed reconnaissance, forward air control (airborne), and utility operations for the Marine Air-Ground Task Force.
These flightline qualification patches represent the various certifications earned by HMLA-367's ground-side Marines—the plane captains, Collateral Duty Inspectors (CDIs), quality assurance representatives, maintenance controllers, and flight line supervisors who manage every aspect of AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom operations on the Camp Pendleton flight line. Flightline qual patches are a proud tradition in Marine Corps aviation, signifying that a Marine has demonstrated proficiency in specific ground-side duties including aircraft marshaling, turnaround inspections, hot-seat crew changes, ordnance loading, and supervisory responsibilities.
HMLA-367 traces its lineage to the Vietnam War era and has deployed extensively in support of Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom, providing close air support and armed reconnaissance for Marine ground forces in some of the most intense combat of the modern era. The Scarface identity evokes the aggressive, no-nonsense approach that defines the Marine light attack helicopter community—aviators and maintainers who fly and fight in the most dangerous airspace on the battlefield to protect Marines on the ground.
Perfect For: HMLA-367 Scarface members and veterans, AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom maintainers, MAG-39 flight line personnel, 3rd MAW service members, Marine light attack helicopter community members, and flightline qualification patch collectors.
Scarface quals—earned on the flight line, proven in combat, the maintainers of HMLA-367 who keep the Vipers armed and the Venoms turning.
