In 2009, 707 Naval Air Squadron, based at RNAS Yeovilton, operated the Sea King HC.4 for training and support roles. The squadron primarily focused on preparing aircrew for operations with the Commando Helicopter Force, training pilots and crew on the Sea King HC.4, known for its robust performance in troop transport, amphibious assault, and logistical support. The HC.4's versatility made it ideal for tactical exercises, preparing crews for combat and humanitarian missions. At Yeovilton, 707 Squadron's training programs emphasized advanced skills in low-level flying, amphibious operations, and night missions, ensuring operational readiness for Royal Navy deployments worldwide. Designed to meet a US Navy requirement for an all-weather amphibious helicopter, the Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King first flew on March 11, 1959. Originally a submarine hunter-killer, the Sea King has since been used in a variety of operations, from search and rescue, executive transport and communications to anti-ship and airborne early warning. Its five main rotor blades and tail section fold for stowage aboard aircraft carriers, and its hull can remain temporarily watertight for water landings-a risky maneuver attempted only in emergencies. When deployed by aircraft carriers, Sea Kings serve as plane guard and are the first in the air and the last to return. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
