New Ray - Sky Pilot Boeing CH-46 Sea Knight Marines Helicopter (1/55 Scale diecast model, Gray) 25893

Originally designed as a twin-turbine commercial transport helicopter, the CH-46 Sea Knight was first flown on April 22nd, 1958. The Sea Knight's tandem rotor configuration is unique among contemporary Navy and Marine helicopters, giving this aircraft increased agility and the ability to fly in strong, multidirectional winds. The Sea Knight can land in water and stay afloat in two foot seas for up to two hours. It also has fixed tricycle landing gear, which makes it easy for crews to load and unload cargo. The Navy relies on Sea Knights for shipboard delivery of cargo and personnel, and the Marines use it primarily to transport troops, equipment and supplies.
