00:27:00 [SOT, Cpl Vidal Gonzalez HMM 364 flightline mechanic] The 46 going away is a sad, sad thing to think about. I’ve been working on these helicopters for four years now and they’ve been in the Marine Corps for quite some time. Over fifty years of service. The day that they have to go away is gonna be a sad one.
