A CH-53E Super Stallion, carrying a decommissioned Assault Amphibious
Vehicle, creates a dust storm behind it as the pilot prepares to lower
the nearly 25,000 pound load to the desert floor. A pair of
heavy-lift helicopters, from Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 166
(reinforced), Marine Aircraft Group 16, conducted dual point external
lifts of several broken down Iraqi armored personnel carriers and two
AAV’s at Al Asad, Iraq. The vehicles were moved to a range for
use as aerial target practice by Marine Aircraft traveling out on
missions
