First helicopter wasn’t like standing on a paint can shaker

One thing I have always wanted to do was to fly in a helicopter. As part of this fall's Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) course, I was invited to take a flight on a CH-53 Super Stallion helicopter. The CH-53 is used by the Marine Corps to transport troops and lift and carry heavy loads of cargo.
