This is what I think a ready room is , in fact this is
a ready room ... and why I suggested that a lounge be
used instead.
this is a lounge.

At a cost of around 50 million dollars for each chopper. I wouldn't expect the military to surplus them very fast.
helicopters don't get surplused out , they get demilitarized
which is the same as being destroyed.
but first they have a important role to play defending the
ground above them from rain while they wait patiently for the
demil crews to come and cut them up for scrap metal , not
sure what the cost of storing all of the ground guardians is
but most likely every square foot of this ground has previously been guarded by billions of wasted dollars.

aircraft that can be brought back into service if needed
but look at these aircraft and ask yourself what chance that
a pilot would have flying these in a modern warfare situation
-------------- nill -----------------------------------
but they sit there waiting ... time passes ..., more time passes ... they will never be brought back into service
in the us military and are mostly sold to the film industry
or foreign nations.
some of these helicopters could easily be used as transport
helicopters for the SDF forces were the us government ever to attempt to cut waste spending and apply its current assets
in a sensible and meaningful manner.
