Don't worry. Every time they try to fly it, you will find it in "Breaking News".

There are some real diehard tilt rotor advocates around here, but I am not one of them. Cool gadgets, but too prone to human error, gusts, winshear, loading shifts, and general bad stuff.

Nothing comforts me more that 10,000 feet and a 3 mile/1000 feet glide ratio present in a fixed wing plane.

I feel the same way about most rotorcraft. I'd still like one though.
