Originally conceived as a single engine variant the Seasprite evolved into a twin-engine, ship-bourne weapons system. Capable of anti-submarine work, weapons guidance and MEDEVAC, the Seasprite performs most of the fleet's light helicopter roles. The D version introduced the LAMPS system and these airframes were rebuilt into the F model along with 59 new airframes to form the bulk of the US Navy's Seasprite capacity. Further upgrades evolved into the G variant which was finally retired from the USN reserve in 2001. G model Seasprites still serve with Australia, New Zealand, Egypt and Poland.

Very happy with this package of the sh-2 seasprite very detailed and fly's great massive well done to the virtavia team on this package definitely 5stars for this very happy with package ;) :)
Ideal naval helicopter if like me you feel you don't have the system to run the Aerosoft Seahawk. Has as a really good flight model(after 2 years still learning to fly it properly), the virtual cockpit is a dedicated FSX model with really smooth gauges and its beautifully textured. Though the documentation is not really in-depth, it is enough to explain its unique features. Very fine helicopter and great performance in FSX(in my dual core 3.3 machine), I fly with 100% autogen, road and boat traffic over from Whidbey over Seattle no problem. The very same goes for the FS9 model which I used 'til migrating to FSX a while ago. Awesome and love it to bits.
