EQUINE OASIS
A CH-53K King Stallion from HMH-461 'Ironhorse' down low over the Colorado River during a training flight as part of a deployment for training at MCAS Yuma in March 2023. While the Yuma DFT was largely to provide aircraft and crews to support the CH-53K's first participation in the Marine Corps' Weapons and Tactics Instructor course, junior crews used the deployment as an opportunity to build flight hours in the 'Kilo' over the vast training spaces of the desert southwest.
