Sea Kings are notoriously unreliable. You should get a Blackhawk instead[:p]!

Canada’s Sea Kings first entered service in 1963 as the Royal Canadian Navy’s CHSS-2 (right). Airframe components were made by Sikorsky in Connecticut but most Canadian Sea Kings were assembled in Montreal by United Aircraft. (The Sea King was not the Navy’s first choice – the RCN would have preferred smaller helicopters. But US Navy Sea Kings had shown the type’s suitability to anti-submarine warfare missions as well as its reliability. The Helicopter Haul-down Rapid Securing Device or ‘Beartrap’ tailored the Sea King to Canadian destroyer decks. Upon unification of Canada’s Forces, the CHSS-2 was re-designated CH-124.

Apples and oranges. Lets see the Blackhawk rescue 5 people from the drink! A venerable workhorse of an aircraft.

Out here in New Zealand our airforce has the Tonka model of helicopter. A little small for much crew but very economical and inexpensive to maintain.

As for our overall airforce I understand the fighter musuem in Wanaka has a Fairy Swordfish and a P51D. Well at least the P51D sounds good.

Westland built Sea Kings are still used by the RAF and Royal Navy, alongside various other helicopters. The big yellow search and rescue versions are still a frequent and reassuring sight.

SeaKings are being replaced by another helo but it will take some time before its all done.

In the meantime they will remain active ...
