Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Well, at least I did! Some very nice shots, especially your last one is quite impressive! What was the reason for the Stallion being transported?

The reason was, as far as I know, that the helicopter was in Afghanistan. I think a flight back from there where quite long. And if they transport it back by plane they can fly until the Copter has "0 hours"

I read that during 2009 four CH-53G would be converted to CH-53GS, so is this the first one?

I have changed the information on 85+01 now. The conversion apparently already took place by 2007. I guess this one was converted as a replacement aircraft for one of the two GS converted Jollies that have been written off. Originally only 20 were converted. This is the 21st one identified.

Greetings,
Stefan
