USMC CH-53 Sea Stallion Helicopters in Formation, Operation Tailwind Collection
Two Marine Corps CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters fly in formation over the rugged terrain along the Laotian border, part of the aircraft that supported Operation Tailwind, the September 1970 MACV-SOG raid into Laos. These heavy-lift helicopters carried SOG reconnaissance and Hatchet Force teams into and out of some of the most dangerous territory of the war. Project: 219516
