In our October aircraft of the month video, we are featuring an aircraft from the New England Air Museum; the SH2 Seasprite.

The Seasprite went into production in 1959 and by the end of the 60s approximately 100 helicopters were built. The initial Seasprite was flown by two pilots and could carry up to ten passengers on missions. It also has Intrepid service experience, having flown from the aircraft carrier between 19661969. The US Navy would continue to use the Seasprite until Operation Desert Storm.

Learn more about the Seasprite's history from our Curator of Aviation Eric Boehm.
