Sikorsky CH-53GA (S-65) 84+88 Luftwaffe | ILA Berlin 2016 (Explored 18th March 2017)

One of my favourite helicopters, the CH-53, taking off with a belly full of paratroopers for a mass drop during the evening display. The pilot aggressively pushes the nose down (cyclic control forward) to accelerate. The aircraft in the background leaving a nice condensation trail is A380-841 D-AIMH Lufthansa on-route from Frankfurt to Beijing.
