The story goes as follows:
The company who owned N53HL as a firepower couldn't obtain the correct parts due to the current laws to prevent ex militarysurplus falling into the wrong hands.
StarJets Aviation PLC saw this as an opportunity as their contacts have had the ability to make and fit their own CAA and manufacturer approved parts for years on ex military Aircraft.
They even have their blessing from all NATO Allied Forces.
So they bought her, fitted her out with a VIP cabin and stored all Fire bombing parts for future use on another aircraft and her Refueling Probe too as VIP Helos dont have a use for Air-To-Air Refueling capability.
Now our CH-53D Sea Stallion, nicknamed "The Queen" as she is our first operational Helo is the world's largest VIP Helo in operation!
