Historical Information

The CH-53 Sea Stallion is an American-made multi-role heavy transport helicopter designed by Sikorsky Aircraft. Since the mid-1960s, CH-53 helicopters have been widely used by the United States Army, US Navy, and US Marine Corps, primarily during the Vietnam War, later throughout the Cold War era, and in numerous conflicts up to the present day. These units were used to transport troops, equipment, vehicles, and for battlefield evacuation.
