A couple of notes from Gordon,




The SH-2F isn't winching in sonar, he's shooting a roto-chute'd SSQ-41
sonobuoy. Sorta looks like they are bringing up the MAD bird, but its on
the wrong side of the fuselage. Trust me, its an outbound buoy.


BTW, that H-2 is my old nemesis, Copyright Zero Five! I've got about 25
hours in that complete piece of ****. It crashed twice before finally
getting sent to the boneyard.



Hey Dave, I've got a few hours logged in TD 05 myself in 1977. Damn,
has it really been 30 years? I must be getting old. I don't remember
this specific aircraft being any different from all of the H-2's I have
time in but I loved the Seasprite. It was a great flying helicopter and
when used "within the limits" of the extremely outdated systems, it was
capable of a wide variety of missions. I really miss the good times I
had flying in the Kaman Coffin.
