    Over here in germany we have CH-53s as well in service.
    As a child i have seen many of them fly over my Hometown, was in awe about those huge Copters.
    Now, with 45 years age, they returned to my hometown and are seen back in the air after nearly 25 years of absence ... i love it.

Is not an ordinary old man , he jumped from the bottom of the web in the life of those kids playing games they play , but better , bringing his world in the new world , he is a huge bridge for the generations .... His passion for videgames make him part of new generations and the most incredible thing is they understand his world now and show respect ❤

      But as far as I know, this was named for the Battle of Bataan, where US soldiers fought side by side with Filipino volunteers and conscript from December 8 1941- April 9 1942.

    Man. I took the Bataan to the Middle East and to Haiti in 2009-2010. Marine Corps 2006-2012. I was involved in Testing the Osprey on the Bataan, Ponce, and Fort McHenry. Making sure it wouldn’t melt the flight decks. That was a scary bird to ride in. Much rather be in a 53. Louder, but much more safe feeling.

''Mallard'' Allard, in Afghanistan, and we brought the war to the enemy, under top notch ''Sierra Hotel,'' leadership, and relentless warrior spirit, collectively. My first born, was born whilst serving attached this ship, and Mallard, ran bombing runs throughout the night, in that sons name, and in the name of God. Some of the hardest men, and women, I have ever had the fortune to know, and serve with.

    While I was never in the military, I grew up an Army brat. My dad joined up when the Vietnam War was coming to an end. He was stationed at Fort Lee Virginia going through ordinance training. He worked with Agent Orange which later after he retired contributed to him getting diabetes. He's a tough guy, went through 2 tours during Desert Storm/Shield. I've always had high respect for the military, though I'll never get over hearing taps being played over the loud speakers on base.
