U.S. Marines with Marine Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron One (VMX-1) test the capabilities of the CH-53K King Stallion on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Dec. 16, 2021. VMX-1 brought the CH-53K into the supportability test plan, where they will conduct a logistical assessment on the maintenance, sustainment and overall logistical support of the King Stallion. The CH-53K is meant to replace the Marine Corps’ fleet of CH-53 heavy-lift helicopters. The King Stallion has several upgrades over the legacy aircraft including a glass cockpit and fly-by-wire controls. It can internally transport 27,000lbs., over 110 nautical miles and has a max external lift of 36,000 lbs., three times that of the legacy “E” aircraft. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
