HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion, Bureau Number 162001, nicknamed "Jasmine," served with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 464 (HMH-464) "Condors" at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, in April 2008. As one of the Marine Corps’ largest and most capable helicopters, the CH-53E was designed for heavy-lift transport, capable of moving troops, vehicles, and supplies into austere combat zones. "Jasmine" played a vital role in HMH-464’s mission to support Marine Air-Ground Task Force operations, providing both logistical lift and troop insertion capabilities during training exercises and real-world deployments.
During this period, HMH-464 and its CH-53E fleet were heavily engaged in operations supporting the Global War on Terror. "Jasmine" participated in deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, conducting missions ranging from combat troop insertions to resupply of forward operating bases in remote areas. The Super Stallion’s powerful engines and six-blade rotor system allowed it to carry heavy payloads over long distances, often under challenging conditions and in contested airspace. These missions showcased the CH-53E’s critical role in enhancing the mobility and operational reach of U.S. Marine forces during expeditionary operations.
Beyond combat support, "Jasmine" also contributed to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions, demonstrating the versatility and reliability of the CH-53E platform. HMH-464’s operations emphasized precision flying, coordination with ground forces, and rapid response under demanding conditions, cementing the squadron’s reputation as a highly professional and capable heavy-lift unit. The Super Stallion’s combination of payload capacity, range, and survivability made helicopters like "Jasmine" indispensable in both combat and peacetime operations, ensuring that Marine forces could operate effectively anywhere in the world.
This 1:72 scale model captures the impressive size, rotor detail, and squadron markings of one of the Marine Corps’ most iconic heavy-lift helicopters. Perfect for collectors and aviation enthusiasts, it serves as a tribute to the Condors’ mission and the heroic crews who relied on the Super Stallion for both combat and humanitarian operations.
