Marines with Marine Test and Evaluation Squadron 1 (VMX-1) perform pre-flight checks with a CH-53K “King Stallion” at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, Jan.14, 2021. The historic moment marked the first time the CH-53K was flown after being solely maintained and brought to readiness by Marines prior to flight. The CH-53K will replace the CH-53E “Super Stallion,” which has served the Marine Corps for 40 years, and will transport Marines, heavy equipment and supplies during ship-to-shore movement in support of amphibious assault and subsequent operations ashore.
