I don't know anything about helicopters, but doesn't $265M each sound like a lot?!?!

Actually, the T 37 entered the inventory in 1955, making it just at 50 years. Didn't realize they still used them. Effective little close air support AC in Viet Nam. The airframes have been "kitted", much like the B52s, according to the official data. BTW, the Astronauts fly the T38, approaching 46 years old. Looks like The Cap'n spoke too soon. My apologies, Rich. The VH3D was phased in as Marine 1 from 1974 to 1976, a few years after I left the AF. Because of the low hours on each airframe, it is entirely possible they're still flying the original aircraft after 30 years. But not 50......... The Cap'n
