So, a few weeks ago or so I sent the attached photo of an odd looking SH-60B out to a few places, this being one. I reached out to the Sikorsky archives and they sent me back what they had. I included the attachment for reference, but according to the martial Sikorsky provided: “A full-scale mock-up of Sikorsky Aircraft's proposed U.S. Navy LAMPS Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System) helicopter was unveiled May 13 at the opening of the American Helicopter Society's annual three-day forum at the Sheraton Park Hotel in Washington, Following the forum, the mock-up was taken on a tour of three key naval installations It was exhibited at the Naval Air Test Center. Patuxent River, Md. on May 20; at the Norfolk Va. Naval Air Station on May 28 and 29, and will visit the Naval Air Development Center Warminster. Pa on June 5.” Sikorsky said they actually didn’t have a photo of it themselves. I recommend reading the entire article rom 1975 they sent (attached) if you are interested in the beginning of the Navy H-60 program. I also learned today the museum where I volunteer is getting an SH-60B. Brian
