Morning quietolong.

Could be reading about the Osprey. ;-)

Agree on the Osprey. The Generals did not understand the technology.

A modern well developed STOL would get the job done nicely, just wouldn't hover, but would carry twice as much twice as far for a third the price and put down and take off in less than a hundred yards of cornfield.

No pictures of rappelling troops, darn, worth a few billion, those photos, eh? Who cares that the machine goes down like a rock with any system problem worse than a dead cigarette lighter.
