New auxiliary fuel tanks, like the one pictured, help AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom helicopters increase their range by more than 25%. Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 267 validated the long-range capability of the auxiliary fuel tanks on their H-1 platform helicopters by flying more than 300 nautical miles during one leg of a four-day mission. These aircrafts’ extended range is crucial to maintaining a stronger, more capable forward-deployed force in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. The Marines in HMLA-267, based out of Camp Pendleton, California, are currently supporting Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force through the unit deployment program.
