is there a http:// or a www in front of the url? neither of which
can be found...

The RNZAF has 4 SH-2G's for the RNZN ANZAC frigates (MEKO 240's) which
are a quantum leap above the old Wessex Wasps...

oops - its SeaspriteCentral.org sorry for the mistake. For Bobby's website,
its this: http://www.users.cts.com/sd/b/bwickes/

Well, like most people, I am a thoroughly biased bystander - I always loved the
SH-2, even though I was only vaguely aware of them at first. I hope the crews
have great success with their nimble little Seasprites. Charles Kaman did an
outstanding job with his unique blade flap controls and many other innovations
incorporated into his ASW helicopters. The SH-2G is a mature, capable system
for a small force's needs and my only regret about their Seasprites is that I
will never strap into one.

Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send your old photos to a
reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone.
