Sea King celebrates 50th anniversary.(Naval Air Systems Command's warship celebrates its anniversary)
The H-3 Sea King community at Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Md., celebrated the 50th anniversary of the aircraft's first flight on 11 March. The twin-engine, all-weather, amphibious helicopter has served in numerous roles through the years including antisubmarine warfare, antiship warfare, search and rescue (SAR), transport, communications, airborne early warning, and executive transport.
"The Sea King was the Jack of all trades and master of all," said Capt. James Wallace, Support and Commercial Derivative Aircraft (PMA) 207 program manager. "It's saved thousands of lives, protected fleets of ships, recovered astronauts and has flown the President of the United States from 1961 to today."
The Sea King was built in four countries--the United States, England, Italy, and Japan--and is still operated by more than 20 countries around the world. More than 1,500 military and commercial versions have been built worldwide.
Variants of the Sea King included the VH-3D for executive transport; UH-3H for utility roles and torpedo recovery; SH-3H for carrier-based antisubmarine warfare; and the UH-3H for logistics and SAR.
