Big Helicopter and Big Humvee

Humvees are big 4x4 trucks used by the military. You might know them as Hummers, which you can sometimes see driving around your city. This one is being picked up from the desert in California by a Big Helicopter; it makes that Humvee look like a little Hot Wheels car!

The helicopter is called a Super Stallion, and it is the biggest helicopter in the Marine Corps.

This is a Sea Knight helicopter. It carries Marines to dangerous places from ships. Helicopters can fly in lots of places where airplanes can't. They can carry lots of stuff too. This picture was shot around the Indian Ocean.

Helicopters can fly straight up from the ground. They carry people and lots of stuff. This helicopter is helping people who are in the U.S. Marine Corps.

I like helicopters because they make a sound like BAP BAP BAP BAP BAP BAP.
