They’re big ones. More lifting power than a Sikorsky Skycrane.

At the risk of conspiracy theory mongering..there have been a few too many “navigation” mishaps in our mil hardware of late.

TWO boats off Iran go simul missing? TWO helos? I guess they could have “legitimately” collided.

I don’t know if it is hardware-related or software related: The relentless demoralizing of our military readiness.

The Coast Guard is reporting that they collided and there’s a debris field in the water. Six souls aboard each.

Are those the helicopters called ‘Sea Stallions’?

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).
