STRATFORD, Conn., July 23 () -- Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. announced Tuesday a milestone in its production of MH-60 Seahawk helicopters -- delivery of the 400th aircraft to the U.S. Navy.The 400th Seahawk delivered late last month was a MH-60R, an anti-submarine/anti-surface warfare variant."MH-60 multi-mission aircraft are among the most reliable and sophisticated maritime helicopters in the world,[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]long bear parajumpers[/url]," said Navy Capt. James Glass, the H-60 programs manager. "The Navy intends to continue flying these helicopters well into the 2030s."The 400 aircraft include 166 of the R variant and 234 of the S variant, which is an armed utility helicopter that's used to carry cargo and personnel between ships. It is expected to operate in a mine counter-measures role next year.The MH-60R, which came into service in 2002, will remain in production through 2017,[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]parajumpers damen[/url], Sikorsky said, while the S variant will remain in full-rate production through 2015."Mission success in the harsh maritime environment is a testament to the men and women of the U.S. Navy who fly and maintain these Seahawk aircraft,[url=http://www.isabelmarantsneakersbootss.com/]isabel marant sneakers[/url]," said Dave Zack,[url=http://www.christianlouboutinonlineshop.de/]christian louboutin online shop[/url], Sikorsky maritime programs director.
