No, if it's an HH60 it's not even old by any realistic standards... And not in the same category as the V22
Think:
HH60: Chevrolet Suburban
CH46: U-Haul box delivery truck

“This is my last day on this earth. I’m contacting you because of a Washington Post article of yours that left an impression on me . . . I am taking my life not out of despair but simply because I’ve said everything I wanted to say and consider my work finished. Since no one at present (or in the past half-century) is interested, I have no platform upon which to stand and talk about my work. In this regard, I believe I have an immense amount to give, not only from my mind but from my heart, and there are just no takers.”

Dennis Williams, an American living in Japan, sent a suicide note to a handful of writers he didn’t know personally. Several tried to help.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—On Dec. 10, 2013, an American expat in Japan emailed a suicide note to a handful of writers, many of them Washington Post reporters.
Under the subject line “Saving a Legacy,” the 66-year-old English teacher and unknown writer named Dennis Williams composed a chilling piece of fan mail.“This is my last day on this earth. I’m contacting you because of a Washington Post article of yours that left an impression on me . . . I am taking my life not out of despair but simply because I’ve said everything I wanted to say and consider my work finished. Since no one at present (or in the past half-century) is interested, I have no platform upon which to stand and talk about my work. In this regard, I believe I have an immense amount to give, not only from my mind but from my heart, and there are just no takers.”* * *
Days passed before I learned that the best hadn’t happened.
It was Williams’ niece whom I had reached out to on Facebook. In a message eight days later, she thanked me for letting her know about the email Williams sent. Her uncle, she said, had in fact killed himself by jumping off a building in the hours after emailing us.
