Of course not. It can't be good unless it's old right? Obviously I agree that it is a little odd.

You're not kidding. I was taking my time going through them and reading the captions. I just came across one of the famous vietnam photos from the story "One Ride With Yankee Papa 13." This story actually involves my father-in-law and a good friend of his. My FIL was a Yankee Papa Helicopter pilot and a good friend of his was the Pilot that was shot down in this story. It's really ineresting because the story leads you to believe he is dead at first. He was slumped over his controls and they couldn't extract him. One of the last slides mentions that he was later rescued by another helicopter. Many decades later I was honored to have the pilot as an usher at my wedding. Here are some of the Life photos from that story.
