Marine Corp’s Biggest Helicopters On Area Training Mission
March 6, 2014
The Marines are flying their largest helicopter on training missions out of NAS Pensacola.
The Marine Heavy Helicopter Training Squadron (HMHT) 302, from New River, NC, will be operating at NAS Pensacola through March 15. Flying the CH-53, the largest helicopter in the Marine Corps inventory, the squadron will be training pilots and aircrew with operations centered around NAS Pensacola, Navy Outlying Field (OLF) Choctaw and other outlying fields in the area.
Training missions for HMHT 302, while at NAS Pensacola, will include night operations until midnight on several days. Residents near the air station can expect increased noise levels as the aircraft takeoff and land at the base.

Those helicopters are awesome. I wish I could find out. The training schedule, I would love to see and hear one. Keep up the great work. Thanks for keeping us safe.
As long as this country has the USMC, I’ll always have hope for it. :-/
