Sikorsky HH-53 Super Jolly Green Giant Rescue Mission

"Live footage of a 53 in action on recovery of pilot downed. Taken several years after I was in VietNam. This was of an Air Force aircraft. They decided that the 53 was such an effective helicopter the bought them and specialized the aircraft for pilot recovery, calling it an HH-53 rather than CH-53. They renamed it "Super Jolly" (Green Giant). The plane was designed for and by the Marine Corps originally. You can see why I loved it so much and why you could never go back. Or maybe you could go back? I did not. Enough adrenalin for a lifetime in 20 minutes."
