A CH-53E Super Stallion made a spectacular tactical landing over Kandahar air field in the war torn Afghanistan. By coincidence I was at the right place to picture the top view of the mighty helicopter, only moment later it disappeared in a brown out condition. The CH-53E was deployed with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron (HMM) 365/Reinforced 'Blue Knights' (a CH-46E Sea Kight squadron).
