This once fleet Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) Stallion was assigned to Marine Helicopter Squadron (HMX) One from the early ninetees. Although some report this is a VH-53D, that's incorrect as it is a CH-53D in a VIP livery. On its tail, above the BuNo the CH-53D designation is visible. The 53 arrived at AMARC on 29 Nov'95 and received inventory code AN2J0086, it was reactivated with HMX-1 in Oct'02, and returned to AMARG as AN2J119 in Sep'04. The Stallion is seen here leading a row of 26 kindred and was moved to HVF West at Tucson by Mar'21 for scrap.

Built as a HH-53C and over the years converted to HH-53H, MH-53J and the highly capable MH-53M Pave Low IV version. Has a turbulent history including recovery of Jonestown Massacre victims in 1978, Desert Storm operations in 1991 and the first ever night landing at Buckingham Palace, in 2003 supporting the Bush visit as a 21st SOS machine from Mildenhall. Retired by the 20st SOS in 2008 and on loan here from the USAF Museum since 2010. The nose art above the name features Marvin the Martian firing a machine gun, with 'Desert Storm 1991' written in all-capitals on the same panel.

This helicopter switches units quite often. It is seen here at the Miramar static show in 2017 when it was operated by HMH-462 (although the last digit of the unit has been painted off the fuselage). By 2019, it had gone to HMH-361, and by 2022 it was operated by HMH-362.
