I had the honor to work on the CH-53D and E. The last flight of the D was in Afghanistan, despite the official Sundown Flight was in Hawaii 1 month prior. We were still doing combat missions with the D in Afghanistan well after that. One of the Ds I personally worked on is going to be on display at Castle Air Base in Atwater California.
Worked on the E for significantly less time but not as memorable.
For those that do read this and know the following
Semper Malus. Stay Ugly.
Yea the d was a good one I was in the 160 for 14 years. We use the uh-60 m and g models. Those 53s always looked like a Chinook and Blackhawk had a baby lol
My hubs was with Pegasus, deployed with Ds twice. I remember the sundiwn ceremony. I still have the t-shirt 🙂
Which aircraft? I was a Red Lion back in the early 90's
@@CH53DGuy I was in 362 and 463. Was with 465 for a bit as well.
362 shut down the Deltas.
I was 363, HMX (60s), and 466.@@anthonybooth1005
Beast mode! My spouse flies 53s. I like 'em big!
I was a 6123 when I was in from '78-'84 at MCAS(H)Tustin, CA. Buildup and teardown of the T-64 engine that powered the 53A and D for H&MS-16 but my parent Squadron was HMH-361. Deployed twice to Okinawa with them. Nothing like the sound of these beasts winding up.
3:04 for some reason my brain tuned out the helicopter and i was laughing at that joint strike vehicle just driving along the sky! 😂
One of my favorite memories Marine'n was coming in hot with 4 53ds flying nap of the earth during team spirit 95 in Korea. So absolutely overwhelming show of force.
The flying supermarket, ammo store and hardware store!
I’m more familiar with the MH-53 variant. The good old Pave Low
The ch-53 is a beast
👍🏽🎯👍🏽 I actually liked the CH-53 Eagle. Steered like a Cow. Ate mega-gallons- and NOISY!! What we’d called a KIDNEY BUSTER! But Great & Dedicated Pilots & Maintenance Support!
So cool, that's going to be my next Super Scale Radio Controlled Aircraft project.
Unexpectedly awesome! This tech is revolutionary.
A sea stallion on steroids nice 👍
The CH 53K is one fabulous bird!!! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
At 9:07 a CH-47 snuck in.
TRUE AMERICAN MUSCLE 🇺🇸
88000 pounds and working hard to beat itself into pieces.
CH 53مروحية قوية 🇺🇸🦁🦅💪✌🎄
Just saw 2 of these flying one after another in South Jersey on its way south.
cool video, except you never showed or talked about the cockpit and the electronics,. that's kind of an important detail
Sweet soundtrack ❤
I'd love to see a redesign of this where it doesn't look like something old that's just had things added to the outside all over it.
Of course it is expensive, for there is nothing else like it , or even close .
You never showed a Delta, that was an Echo.
We would like one... Roa o Aotearoa nui.
Excellent jump platform & limp duck insertion tool
Have you already inserted? 🤔
😎👌

$80 million F-35: gets carried around by a giant helicopter 😂
Guess how much the copter is

No sé para que quieren tantas armas tan caras en vez de combatir el hambre
Pour le prix tu peux avoir deux MI 26 plus quatre MI 17
Mil Mi-26.......No more words...
Waar zijn mee bezig, Guido Claerhout vraagt dat
C.opterH.eavy 5.3
In other words, witn external charge, internal charge, the weapons it has mounted and more features, it's in fact like a micro army going any where for many porposes. Maybe one of this, with the specific crew and external weapon charge should be able to defeat the government of a very small country not well army equipped. Maybe I'm Not so far from a true fact. I'm against war anywhere but this is astonishing. Pretty sad should be used for some other instances, but sometimes the reality is not so kind.
الاطلاق هيك بتنكتب يا كديش
How many have crashed lately? If it espionage the team at NCIS will slove the case in one hour two if Dick Wolf needs an extra hour.
Biggest mi26 more payload its just huge
so this is bigger than a Chinook?
It's way bigger!
The Chinook is a lightweight compared to the CH-53
Long live United States of America and NATO allies 🙏 🤗 💕

Banana ballistic

Yep that's an E model Super Stallion.......but the Pavelow, USAF, Ret. was still the baddest modified Vietnam Era Sikorsky HH-53 famously brought to us by Igor..........
There is a Russian built helicopter that can carry quite a bit more than the CH-53K.
Not russian but soviet. Those times gone.
@@santka3739Nothing has passed, the Russians are still a power in aviation technology!
Any proofs? 🤔 @Iro-jf5pv
34 is R,or,Ra im not link r or ra
Genuine Russian engineer by Igor sikorsky.
Just russian origin. There's no any russian merit in his achievements. More over bolshevik(later communist) russia kick off him from motherland.
I like the way how the modern communist mobs appropriates other people's property and achievements. 😂

I’ve worked around practically every one of these helicopters on the ground being a timber cutter in the northwest back in the day when they let us log big timber before the Democrats greenies kicked us out of the woods these things were awesome. The Chinook were bad too Columbia had several chinook helicopters I remember I was on a forest fire one year. They just bought one from Donald Trump. It showed up. It was all black. They called it Oprah to this day. I believe it’s called Oprah. It was a nice helicopter they got it they used it like it was when they first picked it up on the fires it wasn’t stripped out yet you know Donald Trump it was luxurious and in a big way Trump Vivek 2024😮
Brah... how does mr. D.Trump involved there?
Brah... trump is a con man grifter followed by fools...
Absolute word soup!🤔
Wait Wut Oprah started fires with Donald’s helicopter?
