U.S. Marine helicopter training begins in late July at Lake Tahoe Airport
The U.S. Marine Corps will be in South Lake Tahoe on a 13-day training mission July 27 through Aug. 8. The Marine Light Attack Helicopter Training Squadron 303 is based out of Camp Pendleton, Calif. Squadron 303 trains all of the future pilots for the Marine Corps Cobra and Huey fleets.
The training will include day and night flights of multiple aircraft between Lake Tahoe Airport, Minden-Tahoe Airport and Carson City Airport.
South Lake Tahoe is an optimal training location as training at higher altitudes will better prepare the Marines for future missions, such as the recent humanitarian relief efforts in the mountains of Nepal.
A Public Viewing Day/Open House is tentatively scheduled for July 25 at Lake Tahoe Airport in South Lake Tahoe.
