Taken on charge by the Navy as a UH-2B and flown by HC-2 with service aboard USS Shangri-La and USS America, around 1975 this Seasprite was converted to SH-2F for ASW work and was assigned to HSL-31 at NAS North Island, CA. In 1995 it was passed to the National Museum of Naval Aviation (registered N8064H) and by 2018 had undergone a superb restoration by Kaman Corp This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
