    CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 453 “Pegasus” arrive at Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, after flying from the USS Bonhomme Richard, Feb. 21, 2012. Seven total Super Stallions flew over Kaneohe Bay in formation before permanently joining the squadron. “Pegasus” is the only squadron on base to transition to the CH-53Es and are the last heavy helicopter squadron in the Marine Corps to receive them. “Pegasus” now flies a total of 11 Super Stallions. They expect to receive their final Super Stallion at the end of this year, bringing their aircraft compliment to a full squadron of 12. HMH-463 previously flew the CH-53D Sea Stallion, which was ceremonially retired from service, Feb. 10, 2012.
