Collision? Was one of the pilots a Muslim?

or pilot error, I was in one over Korea in 81, we almost had a blade strike. I broke up a fight between officers later, didnt know that was the reason, the pilot who almost flew MY helicopter I was in into the other...I stopped them from kicking his butt
I should have stood firewatch, but I didnt know why then

Night flying helos is tough, lost a bunch of friends when 2 53s went into the side of a mountain back in '76, Were you in HMH-461? That one was "weather related", but really the fault of the HAC in the lead bird. (not wanting to 'speak ill of the dead', but that's the truth about the accident.)

Too many air accidents recently.

Are those the helicopters called 'Sea Stallions'? These two were probably the newer CH-53E models, the "Super Stallion". Sikorsky currently is testing the CH-53K, the "King Stallion"

Most likely from Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 (HMH-463) helicopter squadron consisting of CH-53E Super Stallion transport helicopters. The squadron, also known as “Pegasus”, is based at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii and falls under the command of Marine Aircraft Group 24 (MAG-24) and the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing (1st MAW).
