UH-2A Seasprite
The UH-2A was an early version of the Seasprite used by the US Navy. Seasprites mainly served as light utility and plane-guard helicopters from aircraft carriers, in hi-viz markings.
This particular helicopter served with helicopter Utility Squadron 2 'Sea Angels' Det. 59 aboard USS Forrestal in 1965. It was comprehensively rebuilt and, almost 50 years later, was delivered to the Royal New Zealand Navy as an SH-2G. HU-2 was the US Navy's second ever helicopter squadron, formed in 1948.
