A U.S Marine CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter assigned to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) 463, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, performs an external lift at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. HMH-463 conducted this training with Combat Logistics Squadron 3 and Marine Wing Support Squadron 174 to become familiar with the lifting capabilities of the helicopter and the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle while gaining the knowledge of how to perform the lift efficiently and safely.
The CH-53E Super Stallion is the Marine Corps’ primary heavy lift helicopter and has been in service for over 30 years. There are currently 152 CH-53E aircraft in operation. The Super Stallion incorporates GPS, doppler radar, FLIR, and ANVIS-HUD sensors, and carries 7.62mm and 50 caliber guns (as a mission kit).
