nice CH53D landings :)

[hammerogod]

MH-53Ds

I could watch that shit all day.

I guess I did back in the 60's when I was aboard the CVA-31. (the OLD Bon Homme Richard).

But it was A4s, F8s, A1s, A3s, C2As, and S2Fs back then.

I took an 8MM camera up to the 07 level as often as I could...not often because I was V-4 Div and mostly busy 24-7.

I did manage to get several hours of footage and then lost it in a flood....sux.

I would love to see it again.

Oh well...you LHD 6 guys think about us old Bonnie Dick sailors once in a while.

These are MH-53D. They were built initially as mine towers for the Navy, hence the MH desgnation. These are hand me downs from the Navy to the Marine Corp. It is not the MH-53D Pavelow. That was flown by the Air Force and had the composite blades of the current CH-53E, but it is the airframe fo the MH-53D with alot of special electronics built-in or added on. the MH designated Super Stallion airframe was re-inforced and had the most powerful engines out all the D-type 53's.

STRAIGHT UP BEASTING

[ToocharoHarachu]

wonder how long this had taken if a woman were to land, cuz They are known as bad drivers behind the wheel ;)

[suraxis]

I wanted the first pilot to stick his head out the window and yell: "like a glove!"

[SSCamaroMan345]

That's a CH-53D not a MH-53.

[cgabrielnfg]

I doubt the h53 can do loops. But if your right its not the only one. That redbull helicopter does them all the time

[shadyecho]

pilot landed like parking his car in front of his house

[Afiso]

Transformer ;)

[aussiebluemax]

amazing helicopter ch-53's only helo that can do loops

[thatman64]

@aussiebluemax not quite!

[millerj3066]

Hahaha DAMN!!...ON THE DOTS AND EVERYTHING

[JKSK8ERLIVE]

HOORAH SEMPER FI USMC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mjschmidtantigo]

This is a CH-53 which is a Marine version on the 53. You can tell by the sponsens or fuel tanks. They are shaped like a torpedo and can be ejected in an emergency like a quick getaway. Also the color is light gray. Navy paints theirs dark gray. MH-53's has sponsens or fuel tanks that cannot be ejected in an emergency. I worked on MH-53's for 4 years.

[Tedescman]

Awesome landing and great helicopter!!!

[mercnet1980]

Go Pave Low!!!

[GenerationKill1010]

@mercnet1980 to bad its not a pave low

[Cardinals525]

@GenerationKill1010 What are you talkin about. Its a CH-53D Pave low. Or a super stallion. If you wanna go that into it, go ahead, but to me, it looks VERY MUCH like the CH-53

[GenerationKill1010]

@Cardinals525 yes it is a super stallion a pave low is a MH-53

[Cardinals525]

@GenerationKill1010 My mistake D:

[Cardinals525]

@Cardinals525 My mistake D:

[kamesan2007]

@mercnet1980 This is not the Air Force Pave Low (now out of service) this is a Marine CH-53D

[mrmatt0820]

What no love for the lse? the 2nd 53 on spot 7 was me.........53's move alot of air and its like standing in a hurrican when there trying to land. The piolets never pay much attention to us any way. Maybe at night if they can't see the deck. haha are you a marine? I was air dept v1 fly 2

[53dguy]

You are close on your description, but there is a minor discrepancy. M is for Minesweeping and used only with the Navy - as in MH-53E. These are 2 Marine CH-53D's. The C is for Combat. GO MARINES!

[youngnaztman]

C is for Cargo not Combat stupid. M can also mean special forces missions, Marines dont do minesweeping

[joeclifton89]

@53dguy What?? Are u even in the marines clearly you haven't a clue on what you are talking about

[joseph299]

@53dguy Uh, not at all retard

[QUICK1DC2]
