I believe some will find this of interest; the passing of yet another long-serving "bird". MW http://www.news.navy.mil/search/disp...story_id=28190 NNS070312-14. Navy Says Farewell to Last Sea King By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Stephanie Tigner, Fleet Public Affairs Center Pacific CORONADO, Calif. (NNS) -- Sailors from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 85 held a decommissioning ceremony for the Navy's last H-3 Sea King helicopter March 6. The helicopter departed Naval Air Station North Island en route to Atlanta to be prepped for foreign military sales. ... Just another reminder of how old I am:-) I have about 30 minutes total flight time in three H-3 flights...two at NAS NI and one in Pensacola, each during during DWEST en route to duty stations in Okinawa, Hawaii and Spain. I think I have more time bobbing on the water waiting for them to show up than I do actually riding in them. Glad I never needed to wait for one in the real world...and glad they showed up for the training events. |
