A lot of noise from haters of the V-22. However, I spent 4 years at Yokota AFB and Norton AFB working in communications, so I saw all the safety reports of helicopters in the Pacific theater. In that time, I recall that there were one or two crashes per year of Marine transport choppers traveling between Okinawa and the Japanese main islands.
Crashes happen. You won’t find me voluntarily flying on a helicopter or a tilt-rotor aircraft.

SAME for me. & I learned to fly before I could drive a car. Father a pilot, uncle Navy pilot & instructor, 2 sons are pilots, one a Navy helo pilot.
Fixed wing only. Usually some chance of putting it down with most mechanical failures.......
