	MH-53 Pave Low - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The MH-53J Pave Low III heavy-lift helicopter is the largest, most powerful and technologically advanced helicopter in the US Air Force inventory.
		The MH-53J Pave Low's main mission is to drop off, supply, and pick up special forces who are behind enemy lines.
		The Pave Low's mission is low-level, long-range, undetected penetration into denied areas, day or night, in adverse weather, for infiltration, exfiltration and resupply of special operations forces.

	CH-53 Sea Stallion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The US Air Force ordered HH-53B and HH-53C variants for Search and Rescue units, and developed the MH-53J Pave Low version for Special Operations missions.
		Pave Lows often work in conjunction with MC-130 Combat Talon for navigation, communications and combat support, and with HC-130 for inflight refueling.
		Due to its large size and troop capacity, aerial accidents that involve CH-53 helicopters were the deadliest helicopter accidents ever.

	CNN.com - Air Force Special Ops - October 18, 2000
		Pippin, a 22-year veteran, stands in front of an MH-53 -- the Pave Low helicopter that has operated in the United States military since the Vietnam War.
		The typical Pave Low helicopter dates back to the Nixon administration; the agency's workhorse C-130 aircraft often are older than the people who maintain them.
		In 2004, a new craft, the CV-22 Osprey, is scheduled to begin phasing out Special Ops' fleet of aged Pave Lows over a three-year period, Bailey said.

	Masters of Invisibility--June 2002
		And the Pave Lows, slower than an airplane, were vulnerable to ground fire when they were flying low.
		As for the Pave Low pilots, they are reluctant to discuss other missions.
		When the terrain is tough and the environment is "nonpermissive," as was the case in Afghanistan, helicopters are the preferred method of infiltrating special operations ground troops.

	Sikorsky H-53 Pave Low
		The decision to upgrade the USAF's H-53 fleet (including seven CH-53Cs) to MH-53J Enhanced Pave Low III standard was partly the result of poor performance by Navy RH-53D helicopters during the attempted rescue of American hostages in Iran in April 1980 and by less than full satisfaction with the HH-53H version.
		The USAF operates the TH-53A for type training and the MH-53J Enhanced Pave Low III version for special operations and combat rescue.
		The HH-53H Pave Low III was a USAF rebuild of two CH-53Cs (68-10923; 70-1629) and eight HH-53Bs (69-5790/5791; 73-1647/1652) with night/all-weather search and rescue equipment including inertial navigation system, Doppler, projected map display, AN/AAQ-10 infrared and AN/APQ-158 terrain-following radar in a thimble fairing offset to port on the nose.

	CH-53 Stallion during Desert Storm
		Modified MH-53's Pave Lows were used in special operations missions, including the "liberation" of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City.
		With the dealys in production of the V-22 by the military and the combat performance of this helicopter in the KTO, it is predicted that the CH-53 will continue to be the main workhorse of the armed services helicopter fleet.
		Using towed sleds, the helicopters were called upon to clear paths for a possible amphibious operation, should they be required.

	Five die in US chopper crash - www.theage.com.au
		The MH-53 Pave Low is distinguished from its less sophisticated counterparts by its terrain-avoidance radar, forward-looking infrared sensor and projected map display, which enable the crew to avoid obstacles while maintaining extremely low altitudes.
		Although no formal announcement has been made, the downed helicopter is presumably a highly classified MH-53 Pave Low, one of the largest and most technologically advanced choppers in the world, used primarily in special operations.
		Coming on the heels of a spate of deadly helicopter crashes in Iraq, the incident is certain to raise new questions about US military engagements overseas at a time when President George W. Bush is beginning to campaign for reelection on the merits of his war on terror.

	US Special Ops Helicopters
		The Pave Low has a variety of radios and radars, a complete EW suite, all weather flight capability, a 300 kg rescue hoist, and thermal vision for the pilot, copilot, and gunner, and the ability to carry air-to-surface and air-to-air weapons.
		Notes: The Pave Low is the special operations variant of the Super Stallion, used for deep insertion of Marine Recon and FAST teams, Special Forces, Delta Force, and Rangers, SEAL teams, and USAF ARRS teams, as well as pathfinding for helicopters on deep strike missions.
		The Pave Low is capable of in-flight refueling, buddy refueling, and amphibious landings, but has no ejection seats.

		Iraq's military claimed it had shot down the Pave Low, but U.S. officials said it had made a safe crash landing.

		The following is an MH-53J Pave Low and it is not the most advanced version of the Sea/Super Stallion series.
		Thank God the crew is OK. This is a reminder how somber an occasion this is. We can't just rejoice, however wonderful the outcome of this, as many have already given their lives in support of this operation.

		A limited night / foul weather sensor system designated "Pave Low I" based on a low-light-level TV (LLLTV) imager was deployed to Southeast Asia in 1969 and combat-evaluated on a Super Jolly, but it left much to be desired in terms of reliability.
		A good number of Super Jollies were converted into Pave Low special-operations machines, the subject of the next section.
		Operational losses were low, however, with one shot down and eight lost in mishaps in eight years of combat operations.

		This is the old Revell kit of the CH-53 updated with a few resin and white metal sets and a fair amount of plastic strip and card to represent the MH-53 Pave Low III Special Ops bird.
		The detail sets used were High Flights Pave Low III conversion set (recently updated and re-released by Landing Zone, who I’ve never heard of before) and Cutting Edges Cockpit Set (which includes the “pizza rack”) and Weapons set (see images).
		This was a bit of a stopper as while I had a few distance shots into a couple of Pave Lows seen at IATs at Fairford I didn’t feel it was sufficient to let me put stuff in the right places.

	United States Helicopter Crew: Killed In Afghanistan, 23 November 2003
		Now, the widows of three of the men are suing defense contractors for the wrongful deaths of their husbands in the 2003 crash, which the Air Force blamed on engine failure of the MH-53M Pave Low helicopter caused in part by failure of auxiliary fuel tanks to jettison.
		Sikorsky, a unit of defense contractor United Technologies Corp., denies that its aircraft or maintenance schedules were to blame, saying that the Pave Low and its operation "met the standards of the state-of-the-art, scientific knowledge" and that no red flags had been raised about any defects in the fuel tanks.
		A compressor problem caused one of the two engines on the Pave Low to stall, leaving it with one engine operating and far too much weight to carry in the thin mountain air.

		The V-22 is intended to replace the U.S. Marine Corps’ 40-year-old, medium-lift CH-46E Sea Knight and the Air Force Special Operations Command’s 34-year-old, heavy lift MH-53 Pave Low III helicopters.
		If a V-22 is required to land in a hot zone, “you’re going to get out of the landing zone a hell of a lot faster in a V–22 than you would in a ’53,” Birkholz said.
		Developed jointly by the Boeing Co. and the Bell Helicopter unit of Textron Inc., the Osprey is a tiltrotor aircraft that is designed to take off and land straight up, like a helicopter, then tilt its rotors forward and fly like a fixed-wing platform.

		This is how American special operations forces go to work, aboard a high-tech bus called an MH-53 Pave Low helicopter, skimming a few hundred feet above the ground at more than 100 mph.
		Almost every night, Pave Lows sweep quietly into Iraq to drop small teams of special operations forces into forward bases from which they are conducting campaigns against paramilitaries.
		Their work, conducted in intense secrecy, is at the heart of the Pentagon's strategy for crushing the Iraqi government's control of major cities without waging street-to-street battles using conventional ground forces.
