This Marines CH-53A 153292 is a Vietnam veteran that took part in Operation Meade River in 1968. It was subsequently retired to MASDC (inventory number 2J0041) before being TOC by the USAF as 67-30044, stripped down and used for training as a TH-53A. In July 1987 it was retired to MASDC for a second time (inventory number HC0022) but left the boneyard again for the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, Robins AFB, GA to be used for aircraft battle damage repair training, before finally ending up at the super Russell Miliary Museum.
