Does 100 airevac patients, twenty medical personnel and eight crew members add up to more than 70 ?

AND - there were hundreds of C-141 crewmembers of the same age and total hours flying airevacs around the world between 1965 and 1972. The same age group and experience level is flying C-17 airevacs in the Middle East today.
