The Riccioni Report..which is a PDF file is linked on thie page at newsobserver aswell;
Quote..
"No Marine mission was found in which MCV-22 excelled
"The USMC will be forced to purchase modern helicopters whether Osprey is aquired or not;
To make up for what Osprey is not"
Personal comment by me:
The reason I posted newsobservers article was due to comments within by Bill Lawrence...a pilot and former V-22 test program manager.
If Neff has distorted info..or misquoted Lawrence...I surely cannot discern that..unless Bill Lawrence has come forward to reject the articles handling of his own words.
**** Osprey is a just a TOPIC..not worth board tensions therein....
In my estimation...its not cutting it..not making the grade...
as the Hispanic's in East Los say....."The dog is belly up"!
