Default MH-53 Visits USS Enterprise

This big guy visited the other day, delivering mail, parts and a couple new check-ins. Never seen one of these on the flight deck in my 3 years onboard.

Enjoy!

Thanks! I had to sacrifice a little sharpness in the last one to get the rotor blur. 50 f/1.4 on a crop at 1/50, with a moving heli and moving ship... That was the sharpest of the burst.

They certainly are an imposing beast. I'll bet you heard that one coming well before you saw it.
