POC Help HSM 48
by Brian Miller 07 Jun '26

07 Jun '26

Short version, the old SH-60B tail bird from HSL-48 is being moved from Pensacola to our museum here in Titusville. At least that is what I am told. As a former LAMPS guy, I more or less put myself in charge of the exhibit when it gets here. We are flying in a COD in late July top add to the collection and expect the Seahawk around the same time. The museum flew in a Sea Dragon about a year or so ago that now sits next to where the Seahawk will go. I’m hoping to get HSM 48 to maybe fly down to Titusville for a photo op with the Romeo tail bird and a static display as a sort of grand opening. I have no idea about interest or availability from the squadron, but the museum has a lot of interest. I would also like to get NHAHS involved in some way. If anybody has a POC, I would be very grateful. The timeline is roughly late summer, any day the squadron is available. Everything is flexible.
