Virtavia SH-2 Seasprite - FSX Steam Edition

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.
