They would be likely be useless, unless (as speculated) UBL has acquired people with knowledge on upkeep.

a qucik FWIW/ man on the scene report.

Just had a couple of military Hueys (? single rotor, turbine exhaust exiting the top directly beneath the rotor, 6-8 passenger) fly over the house here in East Lansing, Michigan.

never seen that before, though I know there is an army national guard station about 3 hours north of here in Grayling Mi, and a couple of Airforce Guard bases about as far away to the north east. I guess they could be on a training mission from grayling, but I've never heard of them running that stuff this far south. seems like a long haul for that type of chopper, easily 175 miles away.

There is a major north south freeway that runs right along here, about 2 miles away, state route 127, and they were headed south...

Familiar with the name Khabab? Or Khan? Do you think Oasama is operating with or without state sponsorship? Where oh where have all of the Speznatz gone?

They not only have the knowledge, they've had it for a long time.
