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.
