History |
| HMM-766 was activated at Minneapolis, MN in 1958 as one of the first dozen Marine Reserve helicopter squadrons. For the next 18 years, the squadron would train Marine Reservists in the Twin Cities area. HMM-766 was operating the UH-34D and CH-46D when it was deactivated in 1976. |
There is some confusion about the Tailcodes of this Squadron. 7V indicates that the Squadron based at NAS Glenview IL, but the Squadrons was at NARB Minneapolis MN aka,NAS Twin Cities MN. this Base used the 7E Tailcode
