    This shit again?

    Why does it feel like the US Military has more Osprey incidents than there are car crashes involving Honda Civics?

      Best part about the Osprey program? They decided it was a good enough idea to work on replacing the blackhawk with the Bell V-280 Valor VTOL.

      Expect more VTOL crashes.
