    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

      @CH53DGuy I was in 362 and 463. Was with 465 for a bit as well.
      362 shut down the Deltas.

    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.

    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.

    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😮
