    The Marine Corps and Navy have already retired their H-53Ds and the big Es are on their way out. A lot more shoulder room in one of those compared to the H-34s.

      Unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, military helicopters don’t actually run on kerosene or avgas

      They run on snow-shovels of cash flung into the intakes as fast as you can manage

        Being powered by three turbines the E chugs cash, but you do have a max of 15,000 available horsepower.
