The Media bashing of the V-22 is getting old. The B-58 had more
accidents than the v-22 ever had. Other programs have had troubled
histories: F4U, F7U, F-104, AV-8,etc...


So, for that matter, did the CH-46 that the V-22 is replacing.
The CH-46's bigger brother, the CH-47 was a killer in its early days.
CH-47As would just "stop flying" usually with fatal results.
(Never heard if that habit ever actually stopped, either)
