That 46 shot is balsy as all get-out 8)
A D model & an Osprey
The glossy grey CH-53D's are nice. Guess the difference in the "D" is no refueling probe and one less engine than the "E".

What do you mean "on alert?"
For the presidential visit
Not to go off topic, but how "on" were they?
I would assume the crews would have to be sitting in them at a minimum.

I took the pic the day before....the next day they were "on alert....and flying".
