Stories of veteran crews who refuse to retire their machines. The long-form narrative sourced from A Long and Distinguished Service will replace this placeholder when it is brought over from the PDF archive.
Expect accounts of loyalty, refurbishment cults, and the slow grind of keeping obsolete platforms combat-ready when supply chains no longer exist. This page is formatted for the full eventual story—not a teaser trapped in a separate document tab.
For now, treat these paragraphs as structural filler. When final copy arrives, drop it into the article body; header, footer, and cross-links stay the same.
