It’s a 20 year old chopper. I’m sure it’s had plenty of repairs. This is just kind of silly. I repaired my car last month, if some other part breaks in October it doesn’t mean anything about last month’s repair. Things break, it’s an imperfect world.

"It’s a 20 year old chopper." The Soviet-made Mil Mi-8 is the most common helicopter in he world. Scads of them are more than 50 years old and still flying regularly, probably with no more maintenance than the owner applies to his Lada.
