I found that there was no real place to put this, so I made a thread. The requirements are pretty wide open here. Post whatever you like, but it has to be about the Marines Corps in some way, shape, or form. If it involves Marines and bacon, it should probably be cross-posted in the bacon thread as well.
How cool is this photo (below)?
Here is something you don't see every day. Marine Corps pilots flexing their muscles with a slingload and refueling at the same time.
The max speed of the CH-53K King Stallion helicopter with a slingload is just over 100MPH and the stall speed of the KC-130T Hercules is about 115MPH. A lot has to go right for this photo to be taken. Both aircraft are being pushed to their limits, here.
