During WTI 2-13 I participated in two CH-53E training missions, one slingload flight and the other was aerial gunnery, for an article I was writing for SoAR (seen here: HEAVY METAL THUNDER).

Ground personnel make a final check to this M777 howitzer's harness after attaching it to the hovering CH-53E.

Nice portrait of the 53 Matt. You made the "high noon" lighting look better than it typically yields.

Thanks Jeff!  I was just doing the best I could with the light I had.
