Nice series, Miloch. The H-53 is a beast.

On a lighter note, the special camo variant that HMH-466 applied to some of
their machines when deploying to the Gulf for ODS.

Apparently they were allowed to paint themselves the desert camo in their own
hangars because of the deployment urgency.

So, those Marines painted angels on their machines. For protection, surely.


Nice gravity-defying boobosity, too. Truly fitting the tradition of nose art.
But in this era of politically-correct and sensitive brass, this art was quickly
painted over. Vandals...


Can't leave those kids alone for a minute...
