[Yo-Yo]

I’ve detested these tilt-rotor turds since the early days of the Osprey development - we lost a LOT of good people firing the initial flight testing to force that piece of garbage into service.

Vortex Ring State is well understood and no longer the problem it was early in the V-22 program.

The V-22 is replacing the C-2 Greyhound in Naval Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) service, so I think the V-22 is here to stay.

Damn! That makes me feel really old.

The CODs to my carrier were “Willy Fudds”: WF-2 aircraft.
