HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion, Bureau Number 161184, served with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 464 (HMH-464) “Condors” at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, throughout the 1990s. As one of the Marine Corps’ premier heavy-lift helicopters, the CH-53E was capable of transporting troops, vehicles, artillery, and supplies over long distances, making it a cornerstone of expeditionary and amphibious operations. Aircraft like 161184 played a pivotal role in maintaining the readiness of the Condors, ensuring that Marine air-ground task forces could deploy rapidly and sustain operations in both training and combat environments.
During the 1990s, 161184 supported multiple U.S. military operations, including peacekeeping and combat missions in the Middle East. Notably, the helicopter participated in deployments related to Operation Desert Storm’s aftermath and subsequent enforcement of no-fly zones over Iraq, providing heavy-lift support, troop transport, and logistical resupply to forward-deployed Marine units. Its performance in harsh desert and arid conditions demonstrated the CH-53E’s ability to operate reliably in challenging environments, often under tight operational timelines and with heavy payloads, a capability critical to mission success in the region.
Beyond combat deployments, 161184 contributed to joint training exercises and humanitarian missions, highlighting the versatility and adaptability of the Super Stallion platform. From supporting large-scale amphibious landings to evacuating personnel and equipment in emergency situations, the helicopter exemplified the Marine Corps’ expeditionary ethos. Crews assigned to 161184 gained invaluable experience operating one of the Corps’ most powerful helicopters, ensuring both personnel and aircraft remained at peak readiness for any operational scenario.
This 1:72 scale model captures the massive rotor configuration, detailed fuselage, and squadron markings of one of the Marine Corps’ most capable heavy-lift helicopters. Perfect for collectors and military aviation enthusiasts, it commemorates the helicopter’s vital role in combat, training, and humanitarian missions, making it a centerpiece for any model aircraft display.
