Yeah, the Chinook has been around for a while, since 1962. Hey, that’s longer than the M-16, which has been in service since 1965. Apparently, it’s a good, dependable aircraft. Likewise, so is the .50-cal machine gun; it’s been in service since 1921, and today’s MG’s are pretty much the exact same weapon we had in World War II.

The last unit I was in had a few .50’s that were WW2 vintage right down to the original walnut grips.
