LOS ANGELES -- A CH-46E helicopter from Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 163 (Rein) completes a left turn 1,000 feet over the city of Los Angles enroute to the Los Angeles Police Department's helipad during an urban navigation flight.  Two HMM-163 aircrews flew the low-altitude mission to practice using key urban terrain features as navigation aids during the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit's Training in an Urban Environment (TRUE) training in San Bernardino, Calif., April 2-12.  The 15th MEU is currently preparing for its six-month deployment to the Arabian Gulf and the Indian Ocean in August.
