• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

'MH-53 - Last Combat Missions'

That's kind of sad. She was a grand old bird, but she did take a while to crank up and that hurt her in the CSAR role when compared to the newer MH-60.

I've had some pretty wild experiences in the Jolly Green Giant from in flight refueling in in the monsoon at night, fast roping and having a hydraulic line break above me while in flight. Come to think of it, almost all my flights in the MH 53 were at night.
