Wow Jack, did you not get laid recently or what? People here have
presented some pretty good evidence that the V-22 is working and that

last statement there is uncalled for. It really sounds like you are
rooting for terrorists to kill American soldiers.

it's at most "flying without crashing" two hours a day on safe
missions delivering toilet paper and VIPs from one base to another

and its 3 times the cost of the competition

You know when Sikorsky invented the helicopter, people said the same
about it vs fixed wing aircraft. A C130 can do the same job, carry more
stuff & farther than your 30 yr old rotor craft. Only problem is a
runway. Competition? What competition? The Ch 46 And 47 will never go
any faster, fly any higher or further or be any more safe in a LZ.


And a camel won't do very well either
why do you pick the 46 47 comparison?. The V-22 is an incredibly more
expensive aircraft using twice the weight and power to deliver the same
or less cargo
The V-22 can't auto rotate and has almost twice the down wash. So
forget the More safe in a LZ crap
