...except a 53!Originally Posted by MSGT-R
I'll be sure not to tell my husband that (crowd killer and Phrog Pilot extrodinare).
Nothing hovers better than the Phrog.
Notice that there is nothing under the nose wheel.

Did that "nose wheel got nothing" maneuver many times with CH-53Ds and CH-53Es - at altitudes which a 46 would perish.
Even hovered an MH-53J Pave Low at 10,000 feet just because!
The Phrog was a great machine in its heyday...but not so much since 1969. And yes, I have over 100 hours in Phrogs.
Happy 239th Birthday, MSGT!
