None have been built in years - only updated. However, they have a good safety record. Weather crashes have been a problem. Lost one in Iraq fully loaded about 16 months ago in bad weather.

I think he is referring to the age of the program. They have been around since Nam. A lot of older ones are still around. My unit in Nam had one go down about two weeks before I got there. It injured about 25 or 30 people very badly, but as I remember, no one was killed.
