1,000s of hours seems like a lot to me. I've had my riding mower for a couple of years and it's only got like 37 hours on it.

And those helicopters could probably mow a quarter acre of lawn in only a couple seconds. 1000 helicopter hours is like 500,000 acres of mowed lawns or something, which seems like way more mowing than Afghanistan needs.

Yeah I get that, someone else linked a Blackhawk helicopter used for sale in this thread for a couple of million dollars, and it had only 3,600 hours on it, it was built in 1996.
