A very welcome fly-by at Leuchars by this Venom. The Venom currently operates from the USS San Antonio and is part of the Iwo Jima Amphibious Readiness Group (IWARG). As such, the helicopters of the San Antonio are assigned to Marine Medium Tilt-Rotor Squadron 162 Reinforced, or VMM-162 (REIN) as can be seen on the tail of the helicopter.
