I got to fly the CH53D, almost 1000 hrs in Vietnam, three tours at sea. No Marine ever got a scratch flying behind me, amazing aircraft. Only had two in flight system failures in 1500 hours. Still flying at age 76, would love to fly the CH53 K. Dimmer26 Capt USMC

This thing is a beast. Worked for Sikorsky for 39 years, and now retired 4 1/2 years. Was a great place to work, building some amazing aircraft.

I was a CH-53E crew chief. I have over 2,000 hours in the Super Stallion. I wish I would have gotten a chance to fly on the King Stallion. I love my Sikorsky helicopters!

I was Med-vac'd in one of these beasts after being wounded in Vietnam and I am forever grateful to the pilots and crew.

I love how the KC-130J and the MH-53K are flying together... I got to touch both aircrafts development. :') (damn I'm old)

The last helo I was on when I was in the USMC was a King Stallion and I have to say it truly is a fantastic airframe and one I will never forget the ride back to camp Pendelton from 29 palms when the pilots decided to follow the road, it was a total blast!

I worked on the engines on H-53A,B, and J models and H-3 Helos. If they aren’t leaking, they are out of fluid. Loved most every minute of the job. They are very good airframes and work horses.

The King Stallion is such an awsome name, I always think of "Long live the king" when I hear it's name

Can’t see many other countries landing numerous F-18s at night, round the clock, many times over in many locations all around the world. The cost of reaching that level of strategic power in terms of diplomacy, conflict, technological development and logistical organisation is like what they say of the most important works of art - it’s incalculable, invaluable. There is no country in the world that cannot ultimately appeal to the United States for protection and military assistance when threatened by a neighbouring regime and therefore, because conflict with the United States is not winnable, there can only be one superpower for the foreseeable future. All power to Uncle Sam and the guys out there keeping a close eye!

Most amazing thing about this video was seeing an Osprey flying in the background instead of crashing

hi guys. what would we do without these special people who serve and when asked protect us god bless them all.

Military industrial complex in action!

" The helicopter has fourth gen rotor blades that are 10 feet long...." That should say, 10 metres long which is 33 feet. The smallest helicopter has longer blades than "10 feet", unless it's a little home made bug or an R.C. model. Aside from that, this is a super video !! Thank you !

If I had a choice as a Marine I'd much rather use the Sikorsky than the Osprey. The Osprey has too many moving parts and have a hearty history of crashing. Sikorsky has always made outstanding aircraft.

This is so admirable for my poor country Zambia I wish we had some too.

103 years old today. Still flying!

I live a few miles away from the Sikorsky factory and unlike the blackhawks I can hear these things from inside my house as they fly over on test flights.

I thought those black circle things were oreos for a second 🤣

Wow. Looking at it aside the c-130 really gives you a perspective of how massive it is.

God bless the US Marine Corp and their Super Sea Stallion fleet, from Royal Australian Navy (retired). These guys saved our ass @ Suai (East Timor) 1999. We did not have the heavy lift capability with our Sea King utility helicopter to move shipping containers. Marines turned up with 2 Super Stallions of ,and had the job done before morning tea!. No one does logistics like USA.

The Daily Aviation should put less background music and more natural background of massive jet engine helicopters

This and the Westland Merlin are probably the two best multi role combat helicopters on earth

2:46 mins. The rotor blades are 10' long, hmmm???

Thank you President Trump for making these possible.

YO THE PAVE-LOW IS BACK BABY. Still my favorite helo

Such a cute little thing isn't it

this COPTER is the BEAST in the sky

I was a 53d mechanic I’ll always have a love for them.

En mi coleccion tengo un Super Stallion de los Marines y es de mis favoritos y físicamente los vi hace unos años luego del paso de un huracan y llegaron a la base de la FAM del aeropuerto de mi ciudad y sin duda son imponentes !!!!

That is one big-ass Helicopter.

I have one. I love it.

It makes me think of a giant mechanical hummingbird feeding on the nectar of a flower when it refuels.

Gagah memang Amerika🥰😘

الله اكبر لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله واشهد ان محمد رسول الله

Thank you for this excellent video.

We need a new Jolly green giant Helo again.

Wow,that is BIG!

"Good Bless you." "👍👍💪🙏

Aviation Marines… not dumb like the grunt Marines. I’ve worked with both.

Smashing video. Thanks for sharing @The Daily Aviation

The in-flight refueling system looks scary. Any minute pilot error and the propeller hit the pipe.

good target for AA-13 Arrow

The sound brings back memories.

I live about 4 miles from MCAS New River and love to see the 53's flying around, although sometimes I would like for them not to be so low! Can't hear a thing when they fly over! Lol! It's all good! I'm proud of our military!

Art of war is so lovely!

عظمه على عظمه على عظمه

Glory to king Jesus who has given man knowledge to engineer these flying machines gory to God

THE SUPER STALION in ACTION

Awesome!

I love the US

Lovely bit of kit.

I love how every time, the rest of the top 10 military powers finally catch up to our technology... poof we come out with something new and go back to being 5-10 years ahead hahaha

Sikorsky: "Ok guys, we have the new heli design underway.... how big do you want i... " USMC "YES"

Peace, thru power.

An $80,000 rpg would knock this $92,000,000 aircraft out of the sky.

For 96 millions hope Al least has a luxury bathroom inside

Son una belleza de maquinas

Mis Respetos me quito el sombrero

It's not going to win any beauty contests and deployment seems to require a lot of unbolting and bolting but that CH-53 can certainly lift a lot!

The pilot is the person who actually activates the fuel dump.

US has the most advanced military hardware.

awesome and beautiful piece of great engineering!

fascinating, thank you

Terrific.

Was Sikorsky Rep in HMH-464 and then VC-5. Best Company to work for. Miss the flying and Company

Isn't US military technology the most awesome thing! Deterring rogue nations the world over. As an Australian, I am grateful for our partnership with the USA.

Una *Complejidad Extrema* Si es más Sencilla la Antigravedad!

Amazing Thank you !👏 💕💕💕💕💕👌

13:11 The PZL M28 Skytruck is actually upgraded An-28.

With a $92 million dollar price tag, I'll take 2 please :)

Una maravilla tecnológica sin dudas

It must be an amazing Machine to fly 👍

That helicopter refueling had TIGHT clearance

Sie ist eine Schnellzuglok 👍👍und keine Bergsteigerin 😂😂vielen Dank für das super Video eine Freude für mich als 01 Fan tolle Aufnahmen 👌👌🙋‍♀😉von einer tollen Lo

"It's not the plane, it's the refueling platform"

get to the chopper 😂

At 2:46 they say the Rotor Blades are 10' long. The main rotor blades are MUCH longer than 10 feet LOL The CH-53K's main rotor is 79 feet (24 meters) in diameter, and its tail rotor alone produces as much thrust as the main rotor on a Sikorsky S-76 helicopter.

Very beautiful sweet looking

7:20 our intimate life after watching too many aviation videos

The aerial refueling of the helicopter looks to be about the scariest thing ever. Seems that a small bobble can result in the rotor hitting the hose.

I was an avionics tech on H-3's and 60's in the NAVY.. I got a chance to crawl all over and check out the 53's when a squadron on a cross country stopped and used some space in our hangar for the night... avionics was all basic stuff, but the birds themselves are massive..lol

This one is impressive, but i think the French CAIMAN is the best helicopter of the world.

Lifts almost 13 ton LAV-25 ! Good to see US paratroopers in Germany joint with Bundeswehr.....

At least 13 feet to the gallon!

Very nice love

All this military equipment did not help to defeat Afanistan. The power of the spirit versus the power of technology.

Good pilots, Top Gun

This machine looks to be the current pinnacle of aeronautical helicopter engineering, a beautiful mix of material technology & manual manufacturing applications to produce this flying beast of burden that'll undoubtedly contribute massively in all its designed intentions.

92 million? That is the same as 42 million about a year ago.

lol, makes the c-130 look like a piper.

The main rotor blade is not 10 feet long but rather, they are 35 feet long. The video is mistake.

Power Upgrade and Kala Lé Saint Boom Hooking

GAU-8 weighs 620 pounds and a full amo drum is 4000 pounds, you could strap 2 to each side of the King Stallion and have 4x BRRRRRRT 🤔

Who else was picked to be a BA Decepticon by earning it!

An amazing example of technological advancement along with being a super colossal waste of money. Can you imagine the cost to develop, build, and operate this beast?

Let’s give it up for the. GROUND CREWMAN…. THEIR . the ones that make sure you come back …..

Very nice info dud

That thing is crazy!love the videos.where else can you see this kind of footage.

2.45 "rotor blades that are 10feet long" not sure thats right for a 70+ foot chopper. I think the blades are 35 feet with a 3ft chord width ? I maybe wrong...

This is a big helo
