Like the Osprey, which since it went operational, has dropped off the media radar screen.

The media hates success!

Not only that, most of them will want one of the civilian versions of the V-22's tech. The models in development are sexy, fast and capable. I definitely want one!

By the same token, fly by wire scared everyone, then fly by light scared everyone, and, of course, composite airplanes scared people.

Now, each and all, are accepted and common place in our lives and the formerly fearful are some of their biggest advocates.

There was an incredible amount of education, engineering, testing and money for those things to happen, but good ideas often find a way. This is indeed the age of miracles, just as promised.

Give them their dues, the critics have a place in that process. But you're right, for some reason the media hates our nation's success and a lot of people fall for it and join in.

Like the Osprey

I remember the way the Osprey was treated by many on FR.
