Got to watch a V-22 Osprey doing touch and goes today at KBFM. What a
fun hour of watching that amazing machine making the transition from
hover to forward flight and back again. Wish to hell I could get some
stick time in that one before I hang up my licenses in the next year
or two.
Wish to hell that clown with the hardon for Belfort would go away and
crawl back into the hole he came from.

That V-22 is an amazing machine. When I worked at
Boeing another team was designing the avionics
package for it. Several people in my group were
working on it, although I personally was not.

Of course, there were plenty of problems in the
early flight testing, and a lot of crashes.
Still, there is nothing quite like it for heavy
lift, VTOL, and _speed_.

As for the Belfort troll asshole, I plonked him
and don't see his posts anymore--thankfully.
