I made an honestly snarky comment on Sunday about generational choppers lifting people out of Saigon and now Kabul. I was quickly schooled by a friend who knows choppers better than me. The old heavy lift choppers the Navy used to evacuate Saigon were retired years ago. The military uses an entirely new generation of craft. Then he came back with some interesting news. If the people who know things are reading things correctly, based on pictures, aircraft identification numbers, and service histories, at least one of those old Navy choppers that evacuated Saigon was reactivated and turned over to the State Department. They took it to Kabul. Where it just helped evacuate the embassy. If I wrote this in a story, people would think I made it up.
