As they say of the CH46, the last one was built in 1970. The last CH46 pilot hasn't been born yet!

These are Real pilots - not that airfarce jackass.

Speaking of jackasses (and CH-46's) - did anyone hear that stupid reporter on FOX that was running down the saudi commando unit (correctly) because they were flying the "ancient run-down" CH-46 hellicoters for their assault??

He stated that the saudis were taking the anti-terrorist force seriously enough because they were made to use such antiquated euipment.

Gee- it sounds like the Marines!
We the unwilling
Led by the unknowing
Are doing the impossible
For the ungrateful
We have done so much for so long with so little
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing
