this thing needs to go the way of the Dodo.

Nice concept but the technology isn't there yet. The problem is that Boeing, some generals (consultants) and Pentagon (consultants) want this thing done.

What needs to happen is that the consultants and CEO, CFO and Chairman of Boeing should use this aircraft to ferry to work in Seattle and D.C. for 1 year ... every day. Then I'd let my son go into battle with one of those as his transport.

Yeah, I don't get why they killed the RAH-66 Comanche, but kept the Osprey.

[nanak]

I agree.

Q: How many hours do you have flying in the V-22 and how many hours have you spent doing FMEA on the technology?

A: ZERO

I thought so.

Any qualms about letting your, or anyone elses, son fly into combat on 40 year old CH-46Es, AKA Boeing Body Bags?

[meema]

I'm 100% for that idea. Let the CEO types, Board members and the Generals who want this thing so bad fly it to work every day for a year.

Great concept, but this thing can't fly.
