Setting Down in Elephant Grass
Looking down on the field camp of some Marine grunts, the shadow of this HMH-463 aircraft can be seen as it looks for a spot to touch down.  The downward thrust of the 53's rotor wash wreaks havoc on the tall elephant grass and the flimsy poncho dwelling of one rifleman.
