According to military records, for every one (1) hour of flying time, the Sea Kings require forty (40) hours of maintanence.
That is decrepit my friend.
These things are 40 years old now. Basically, these guys are driving around in 64 Pontiacs to put it in perspective. Wait, the 64 Pontiac wasn't a bad car. Ok, they are driving around in 1973 Ford Custom 500's. That's more acurate.
