This is a really heartwarming story. This guy's grandfather brought him to an airshow when he was a child and he got to sit in the seat of one of the helicopters. He said from that moment on, he knew he wanted to be a pilot. After joining the military, he was a couple of weeks into flying his OH58 Kiowa when he thought to look up at the aircraft's numbers.
It turned out that some 20 years later he had ended up flying the same exact helicopter he had sat in as a boy. You can see that the two numbers line up in these two photos.
