I was not a 53E pilot but, since I was at the Sikorsky Factory for three years while the E was in production (K Model now) I have just over 100 hours in the 53E as a co-pilot - or, perhaps more appropriately, a Sand Bag.
As I have written before, it is like flying your house from your bathroom.
I did low level routes with the USMC Major at the factory across the desert delivering brand new 53E's to Tustin: 15 ft agl, 170kts. All legal.
BTW, Dash 2 gets above lead quickly. Helo’s, unlike jets, take station on lead from above
