It will be performed by three sea stallion helicopters of the USMC. Must be interesting. They will get to Easterwood on Friday afternoon.

Just realized the picture is an accurate scale representation! Sorry for the size.

WAY TOOOOOO BIG!!!!
From another board, one of the pilots said he is going to set up one of the choppers as a static display so that you can come by and check it out.
The Sea Stallion is the CH-53D. We only have them in Hawaii and 12 currently in OEF. It does not have aerial refueling capabilities (as shown in picture). The CH-53E is the Super Stallion (as pictured) and will more than likely be the aircraft that the OP is referring to... Awesome aircraft with phenomal lift capabilities!

Ha! Last time I flew in one of those it leaked hydrallic fluid all over the place and made a crazy chirping noise the whole time.
The crew chief yelled to me "DOn't worry sir! It's when they are not leaking hydrallic fluid, that's when you don't want to fly on these!"
I could only laugh and tighten my kevlar.

Heading out tomorrow morning. I already put the invite out through the trigon, but i am going to have one aircraft set up as a static display for people to walk around from about 1230-2 on Friday at Easterwood.

All are invited to the static display. Its not on the commuter terminal side but the FBO side. I will post on this thread when we land in case we are running late or something. We are refueling in tuscon right now.

These flyovers keep getting more and more awesome. Next week will be space shuttles.
I vote for combined arms. Come pick up a 777, and let the ground guys get in on the fun.

Exactly!! Two years ago they had a fly over. I took both my boys and they freaking loved it. Actually they appeared to soon before the NA was finished so they just floated for around 10-15 seconds before flying over head. It was great. Felt like they were fix'in to invade Kyle!!

I'm pretty jazzed about this.
Some of you AO'ers mind letting us know when they get to Kyle?

Took the family up there and the guys were great, very nice, and eager to talk to us and were awesome/patient with my almost 2 year old. Also got a chance to talk to the pilot posting on the AO board, fine example of a person and an Aggie.
Climbed all over that machine and even shoe horned my big ass into the pilot seat.
Got some great pics I'll upload in a bit.
