The Sikorsky SH-60B Seahawk helicopter ferried troops on deployments throughout the world during its Navy career.

Its last mission was a short jaunt — from the Marine Corps base at Kaneohe Bay to the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor this morning.

Navy pilots Cmdr. Brian Gebo and Lt. Brian Roberts brought the Seahawk in for its final landing on Ford Island, where it will become a museum piece.

“This fly-in was very exciting for us. It’s an acquisition for the museum through a process done by the U.S. Navy when they no longer have a need for an aircraft. We welcome it and will give it a good home,” said museum Executive Director Kenneth DeHoff.

Attending the event was retired Marine Col. Michael “Swede” Olson, a Pacific Aviation Museum board member who was responsible for securing the helicopter for the museum, officials said.

Gebo’s family, wife Heather and three sons, Brady, Aidan, and Spencer, also were there.

“It’s kind of cool that it will be at the Pacific Aviation Museum and that it will have my husband’s name on it. We can visit it here, forever,” said Heather Gebo.

Assigned to Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 37 at Kaneohe Bay, the “Easy Riders,” the Seahawk had reached its service life limit, and will now reside in the museum’s 85,000 square-foot Hangar 79.

It will be in the company of an F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, Bell UH-1 “Huey,” Bell AH-1 Sea Cobra, Stinson L-5 and other aircraft in the cavernous historic hangar.

Visitors to the museum can experience the aircraft on the Aviator’s Tour.
