I was recently reading an article on the Seaking helicopters and how they remain to be a major work horse for many countries.

I spent a lot of time in Sea Kings when the US Navy used them. Good aircraft, especially in bad weather.

None that I can remember, at least in fighters. There may have been one or two flying transports, because there isn't as much of a vision requirement. The FAA allows color blind pilots though. They've changed their rules, and say you only need to be able to see certain colors to pass a physical now.

The Navy's Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2 found and recovered the downed F-16. It's being returned to Andrews for the AIB/SIB to examine.
