Today at Camp Pendleton, I covered the last graduating class of Marine Crew Chiefs for the CH-46 Sea Knights. The CH-46 was introduced to the Marines during the Vietnam War where it served as a troop transport/cargo and assault Helo. The Helo that was present for the ceremony is the oldest one still flying for the Marines.
The CH-46's will all be replaced by the new tilt rotor, MV-22 Osprey, but no date has been set yet.
Present flying was also some Cobra attack helicopters.
