speaking on how strange time can be this picture was taken of me about 14 or 15 years ago. This helicopter was in the same unit I am in now. Today I flew tail #606 the one in the picture is #607
Yup, our modern military. :) Joking aside, it's amazing in general that in aviation, airframes remain functional and useful for many years. It's kind of a cool aspect of aviation.
Oh ya I think the oldest bird I've ever flew was a 1968 OH-58A it's really incredible that they can keep them flying for so long (granted they had 3 engine failures in the span of 3 or 4 months)
In 95 I was bitching about "Grunge music killing metal" and dating my wife, while working as a cable guy and moonlighting in a club band..we were going to get famous, yeah right! And Eagle was one!
How cool is that your in 607 and later flying 606.
