It's a good article Jim, only one glaring error about ages of crews - there are plenty of us more mature types still doing milSAR past our 40s
Mid 50s would be the normal limit unless extensions to service are granted.

Oh, and there is no substitute for experience, regardless of how shiny and new (and capable) the aircraft.
