Sikorsky CH-53GS (S-65) 85+07 Luftwaffe | Tag der Bundeswehr Hohn 2016

What an impressive sight! Coming close and flaring to decelerate, this CH-53GS is saluting the public after the end of an impressive hostage rescue display during the Tag der Bundeswehr 2016 (Day of the Armed Forces) held at Flugplatz Hohn. Note the rear gunner hanging out of the open rear loading ramp and waving to the audience. Looks like Darth Vader or and imperial storm trooper, but is much friendlier :) The copilot is filming on his smart phone, you can just see his hand through the windscreen.
