You may want to wait to see what caused the crash before you bring up the subject of "Hangar Queens."
I didn't mention the term "hanger queens."
Where did that come from?
Is that because I mentioned that the CH-47 has had crashes?
That was not a slam of the CH-47, but meant to ridicule those who damn the V-22 because it has had crashes. I don't think there's ever been a military aircraft that didn't have crashes during testing. That's why they call it testing.
But there is a luddite chorus who want to kill the V-22 and they are using the crashes a couple of years ago as "proof" that the V-22 MUST be canceled.
And do what? Keep flying even older designs that have had more crashes?
