the MH-53 pave low is the most powerful helicopter in the Air Force, capable of carrying up to 38 troops or 14 litters. the
MH-53 is also the most technologically advanced helicopter in the world. used for (CSAR) "combat search and rescue" missions as well as (CAS) "close air support" missions" the MH-53 is often used for low level infiltration missions so it has armour plating to protect it and its occupants from incoming small arms, machine gun, and rocket fire. the offencive capability of the MH-53 is not extensive but effective. capable of mounting any combination of two types of MG, either the 50 cal. or the 7.62mm mini-gun in three different positions. one on either side of the aircraft and another in the rear of the aircraft. the individuals who man these gun are known as Aerial Gunners. this is the career in which i am seeking in the United States Air Force.
