Im driving around town and i had to stop at a light...i look up and i see a Osprey. Remember that aircraft. www.fas.org... I looked but didnt see if they were going to bring it back into service, anyone hear of anything about it being tested or returning?

I had my camera but it was in my backseat and i couldnt reach it in time...and yes i am sure it was a Osprey.

I heard the DoD were forging ahead to get a USMC development unit into service. I hear so much claim and counter claim about its capabilities -v- its faults I don't know if it will actually enter widespread.

Australia considered it as a DHC-4 Caribou replacement for the RAAF 10-12 years ago until it was figured out the IOC was a little on the optimistic side.

Until we see some coming back with battle damage and going out again in Iraq or Afghanistan I don't think people will beleive it has proven itself.

After all, thats one of the roles they wanted them for is'nt it?


Did I read right. CV-22s in the Presidential Flight? Thats what I call a win win situation

- The Presicent has never being on a Osprey nor will that ever be a transportation option.

I'm assuming you want bush in it to crash, so you could kinda kill 2 birds with one stone, or did I just misinterpret your last sentence.
