The CH-46 Sea Knight, known affectionately as the Phrog, has served the United States Marine Corps for over half a century. The Phrog entered service in November 1964 and has served as the Marines' medium lift troop and cargo assault helicopter until the MV-22 Osprey took over the role. During a ceremony honoring it's service, on August 1, 2015 the final Phrog in Marine Corps service was donated to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center for temporary display.
