Sure. And will be in service until 2040 according to some reports I've seen. It makes you wonder just what is original. (Reminds me of the 'original' executioners axe that had 5 new heads and 15 replacement handles during its career! )
The manuals also show the various 'Limitations' applied to the airframe, power units etc. If you wish specific information on this bird, or any other type I have the FMs for, just pm me.
