My brother was a helicopter mechanic in the Marines and this is what he worked on. I got to go out to San Diego when he was stationed there after his three tours overseas and got to go in the helicopter. What an amazing piece of machinery.
HMH-462 we had A’s and D’s prior to receiving our E models. Third engine and extra rotor blade really upped the game; let alone the stinger for in-flight refueling. 200+ knots and ability to external 36,000lbs. The “shitter”, as they were referred as, is a very capable aircraft. Don’t get on one that is not leaking hydraulic fluid; because that means the system is dry.
The guys hooking up the helicopter are HST ( Helicopter Support Team)... now days it's a MOS...(0481) back when I was in, it was a Voluntold (1381's) engineers or (0311's) infantry who were sent to go do the job after a quick class by a staff sgt.
Seen something like this first hand except it was a Mh-53E Sea Dragon picking up another MH-53E. They can carry their own weight. I was in HM-12 in Norfolk VA and we had a bird go down in a peanut field in Suffolk VA for a main gear box that started going bad. The squadron sent the shops out there and removed the main and tail rotors, rigged the lifting ring to the top on the main gear box and then they flew in another one of our birds to take it back to Norfolk. Trucking it out was out of the option because of local of the landing site and also the size of the helo was too big to move on the local roads. Was damn cool to see the fly in, hook up, and fly out.
CW4 Proctor, our senior training flight evaluation officer could do things like that...at the time he only had 3500 hrs on Bell UHIS...he had good Vietnam stories... ...
F 1T out of Fla was picked up by 53 E also.i got a shot of one at LZ Blue Bird picking up a 98.the ground crew looked like little people with the gun slung underneath as it was lifting.
ah yes. how i remember the marine corps. always someone doing something the way it should be done. but someone yelling at them they're doing it wrong just to have them fix themselves and be confused for 5 minutes then do what they originally were gonna do.
The CH-53E Super Stallion is a beautiful helicopter, I want it to remain operational for many more decades, and never need to be replaced from the useless ch53k.
Better let the pentagon know if thats how you feel ? better yet get a job in the pentagon that way you wouldnt just be an arm chair warrior you could actually pull the plug on the useless CH53K.
i was a s model crew cheif and i know the tail rotors will fit in the ammo bay and the only place for the main rotors is ties them to the skids so where are the main rotors
kiloechocharlie Guys on the ground would have removed them! The rotor wash from the stallion would have caused the cobras rotors to spin, and shit would have gone sideways quickly.
Before any aircraft is recovered, many of the smaller parts are removed for safety. Rotor blades flap a lot. They have a lot of bend in them. Earlier in the day or days prior, another CH-53E would land with Cobra mechanics. The Cobra mechanics would remove several items; ie: rotor blades, tail blades, etc and load them in the cabin of the CH-53E. Another CH-53E would be sent in for extraction. For larger aircraft, it's not uncommon to remove the tail pylon if there is possibility the lifted helicopter can strike the CH-53E.
@Gideons Word Yea, it's always interesting the approaches taken to recover an aircraft. In Southern California, was had to work with California Highway Patrol (CHP) to close off highways as we extracted an aircraft back to Tustin California. It was neat looking out the door and seeing lots of CHP blocking traffic creating a lane for us to fly over with the load. The view was cool, one CH-53E slinging the load and three more just flying as escort (well, with mechs, parts of the stripped aircraft, etc) but it was really for a visual display since we knew we'd have lots of people on the ground watching. Took us three days to prep the bird for the extraction from a local mountain.
It’s might just be an old airframe used to practice lifts with. We had junk hummers, howitzers, and APCs that we just moved all over the place. Sometimes between San Clemente and Camp Pendleton.
I was in the Navy and worked on the H-53's, at a above ground hover they produce 100 MPH winds, breezy? Oh yea you can even see the guys on the hill behind it having issues standing up.
Hey I think a TH-camr name "Shapa" record a different view of this when the sea king landed to drop of some troops. It's over on there channel if any one wants to see it.
I worked on the H-53's in the US Navy, that hook was designed to have a little bit of weight on it to allow for a proper release when they hit the button, just having that cloth strap on it with no real weight was the cause for the slow release. Normally that release hook pops open pretty easy.
Easy lift for a shitter. The shitter can lift 30,000 lbs and the AH-1Z without blade is probably 11,800 lbs. They are surprisingly fast too, running out at about 170 knots. I had some rides on the 53D when I was with the Aviation Combat Element of 31st MAU during Eagle Pull and it was smooth but deafening.
That took waaayyy longer than should have, come down more altitude slide for the wind correction and release the hook away from aircraft, dude come-on!
As I was watching this I thought of the 53 vs the Cobra .... One you strap on , wear and fight One you walk onto with a Latte Had this been an Air Force issue they would have a bunch of sky cops , a film crew ( s ) , overhead CAP , ground contollers parachuting in ( captured on camera ) , a catering Truck , Six porta potties , a tent for 0-6 ‘s .... Had this been an Army issue we would read About it on page 6 of Stars and Stripes Had this been a Navy issue they would just look fabulous As it was , a Major was there keeping silent , a Gunnery Sergeant running the entire op , a Staff Sgt up close and personal yelling at a Corporal and a few Terminal Lances . They had water and a single MRE , had spent the night with a wet poncho liner , a pissed off wet and hungry Corpsman . They were up at false Dawn , shaving. After the AH-1 was gone , the Gunny whispered into the Staff Sergeants ear and the Staff Sgt ordered all hands on deck , on- line for Police call. They then humped the trash and their nasties 4.7 Klicks to the hardball MSR where a Humvee was waiting for the Major and a five ton for everyone else.

Some of these missions are training (bonus if you really need gear moved) for pilots/crew or the hst guys on the ground. So it could’ve been a learning session
The MH 53 is the big lifter for the Marines andAir Force. The CH 47 is the Army's big lifter. The Russian Army has the largest physical size helicopter in the world. But no matter, they all do a great job, and yes it's expensive. Freedom isn't free.

it's a fucking crunch Shane that our government spends almost 1 trillion dollars a year on the military budget and this helicopter can't get any better hook & tackle setup than this it's sad no reason for that pilot to have to lower his chopper that close to the ground door is there any reason why soldiers should have to decouple the connection that should be automatically done from the chopper itself it's so fucked up it makes me sick watching it putting this pilot and the soldiers under way more stress and danger than necessary
There's usually a crew chief looking down the opening of the cargo hook communicating with the pilot. The crew chief guides the pilot over the load and down until the ground personnel can safely attach the load to the sling without crushing anyone. Once ground personnel are out of the way another crew member will let the pilot know, then you'll see the helicopter slowly climb till tension is on the sling. The rest is on the pilot until the load is ready to be set down and released
You usually have two guides signaling. One at the object to be lifted and the other out in front where the pilot can see, shadowing the Marine by the load. There is also a crew chief looking down the hell hole watching what is going on and watching the signal man. The crew chief doesn’t always have the best view like you would assume.
That's why there is a Stinger.....It's a long rounded piece of metal that protrudes from the tail, usually to keep the boom from striking during landings......
@@Ami-vh7sr I know, I used to build helicopters in that type rating. And if were gonna be technical, hitting the stinger is still a tail strike. So take your snarky little retort and rethink your life choices.

Hitting the Stinger when the weight is being supported along the Transmission and the Main Rotor head mast isn't really that big of an issue as the majority of the weight is being lifted by the MH-53.

As I was watching this I thought of the 53 vs the Cobra ....
One you strap on , wear and fight
One you walk onto with a Latte
Had this been an Air Force issue they would have a bunch of sky cops , a film crew ( s ) , overhead CAP , ground contollers parachuting in ( captured on camera ) , a catering Truck , Six porta potties , a tent for 0-6 ‘s ....
Had this been an Army issue we would read About it on page 6 of Stars and Stripes
Had this been a Navy issue they would just look fabulous
As it was , a Major was there keeping silent , a Gunnery Sergeant running the entire op , a Staff Sgt up close and personal yelling at a Corporal and a few Terminal Lances .
They had water and a single MRE , had spent the night with a wet poncho liner , a pissed off wet and hungry Corpsman . They were up at false Dawn , shaving.
After the AH-1 was gone , the Gunny whispered into the Staff Sergeants ear and the Staff Sgt ordered all hands on deck , on- line for Police call. They then humped the trash and their nasties 4.7 Klicks to the hardball MSR where a Humvee was waiting for the Major and a five ton for everyone else.

My question is Why the hell isn't there someone on the ground signalling to the pilots?
My question is Why the hell would there be a signaler on the ground when they could be inside the Super Stallion instead?
David Tan a crew chiefs view is limited in the MH53 they can generally only see out one side at a time and view underneath the aircraft is limited
There's usually a crew chief looking down the opening of the cargo hook communicating with the pilot. The crew chief guides the pilot over the load and down until the ground personnel can safely attach the load to the sling without crushing anyone. Once ground personnel are out of the way another crew member will let the pilot know, then you'll see the helicopter slowly climb till tension is on the sling.
