While HMLA-367 and HMH-463 conducted operations in the air, Marine Wing Support Detachment 24 and Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 24 were on the ground to provide forward arming and refueling points, giving MAG-24 a chance to work as a whole. After conducting flight operations, the aircraft returned to MCAS Kaneohe Bay and completed their max launch with a flyby over Marine Corps Base Hawaii before landing.
