Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 267 (HMLA-267), known as the "Stingers," was activated on October 15, 1982, at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California. Initially equipped with AH-1J SeaCobras, the squadron transitioned to the AH-1W SuperCobra and later incorporated UH-1Y Venom helicopters. HMLA-267 has participated in multiple deployments, including Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom, providing close air support and assault support missions. The unit continues to serve as a vital component of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, supporting Marine Air-Ground Task Forces worldwide.
