Photone,
Yo are correct, this is a MH-53. The sponson is much larger on the MH version of the 53. The USN uses these as minesweepers, but they can also haul a large amount of people & gear. As for the rotor wash, it is truly tremendous. My first day working on the flight deck of the USS Saratoga I learned to respect these aircraft.
