CH-53K Arrives at New River for Supportability Test Plan

The first CH-53K King Stallion taxis across the flight line at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina May 16, 2018.

The aircraft’s delivery to MCAS New River marks another on-time milestone for the U.S. Marine Corps’ future heavy-lift helicopter program.

Personnel with Marine Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron 1 will bring the CH-53K into the supportability test plan, where they will conduct a logistical assessment on the maintenance, sustainment and overall logistics support of the King Stallion.
