Lance Cpl. Mike Minchew, a crew chief assigned to Marine Heavy Helicopter Training Squadron 302 Marine Corps Station New River, North Carolina, stands by during a CH-53E Super Stallion lift off at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, Oct. 25, 2022. The CH-53E can carry a 26,000-pound light armored vehicle or 16 tons of cargo up to 100 miles. The helicopter is compact enough to deploy on amphibious assault ships, and has the armament speed and agility to qualify as much more than a heavy lifter.
