A Marine from Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463, Detachment Bravo, helps prepare to unload a CH-53E Super Stallion from the inside of a Russian An-124 cargo plane at Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, Sept 7. “HMH 463 Detachment Bravo was established to lay the foundation here for the arrival of the CH-53Es,” Lt. Col. Jeffrey L. Davis, officer in charge, Detachment Bravo, said. “I have a total of 79 Marines here that will be working on helicopters when they arrive.” After the Super Stallions were moved into the hangar for the initial inspection, the Marines of the squadron began to reassemble the aircraft for operations. The entire process could take a few days to a few weeks. Two additional CH-53Es are scheduled to arrive Sept 10.
