My SIL works for Rolls Royce who makes the V-22 engines.
Last summer they had several on display at an open house event and then did the flyover for the Nascar race.

That airplane is a friggin’ mechanical nightmare.
God protect anybody who flies on one.

"That airplane is a friggin’ mechanical nightmare."

A friend of mine is a retired CH-47 Chinook pilot. He used to brag that the Chinook was, "the only military aircraft capable of an air to air collision with itself."

His boast was shattered once the Osprey went operational.
