Not to be a nit-picker, but the Jolly Green Giant was the HH-3, a version of the Sikorsky H-3. Another version is the VH-3D "White Tops" flown as Presidential transport by the Marines of HMX-1. The HH-3 had a gross weight of about 22,000 lbs and 5 main rotor blades.
The Air Force called the CH-53A & C the "Super Jolly Green Giant". The Marines & Navy called the CH-53A & D "Sea Stallion". The CH-53D had a gross weight of 42,000 to 48,000 lbs, had two engines of about 4,000 HP each, 6 blades on the 72 foot diameter main rotor and a 16 foot diameter tailrotor.
The H-53s mentioned in this article appear to be the CH-53Es. The "Super Stallion" has three 4,380 HP engines, 7 blades in the 79 foot diameter main rotor, and a 20 foot diameter tail rotor. Max gross weight with internal loads is 69,750 lb. External max gross (sling loads) is 73,500 lb.
Max speed on all CH-53s is 170 kts, close to 200 mph. Though not approved flight maneuvers, the CH-53 has done loops, barrel rolls, aileron rolls and split-S maneuvers.
I've seen a great photo of two CH-53Es, each carrying a USMC LAV-25 (24,100 lbs) on a sling while they are aerial refueling from a C-130 Hercules.
The first CH-53s came into service in the mid 1960's. I flew CH-53D 1974-78. The CH-53E's came into service soon after that. Awesome aircraft!
We usually refereed to the SH-3 as the Sea Griffin or sh*t house 3 by other crews. I can remember a graphic scene of a wrecked and burnt SH3A after a water strike being hauled back from the Gulf of Mexico by a CH-53A. We lost two crew members that day.
