Received this from a friend in TX earlier today-was a local Fox News source:

“First responders are continuing to search for the aircrew, according to the U.S. Marine Corps.

"The U.S. Marine Corps is searching for five U.S. Marines assigned to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361, Marine Aircraft Group 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing," Marine Corps Air Station Miramar said in a statement Thursday. "The Marines were flying a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter from Creech Air Force Base to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar on Feb. 6, 2024, when the aircraft was reported overdue.”

The original Es had a pretty basic cockpit/nav setup. No idea if they have been upgraded.
