Among the crowd-pulling exhibits were two Sikorsky CH-53D Sea Stallion helicopters, the Marines' workhorse troop carrier. The two choppers, similar to those used in the ill-fated attempt to rescue U.S. hostages in Iran in April 1980, had flown in for the event from their base in Okinawa. When the display ended, they left for home...
