You know being a playa hater is not cool? The Anti Osprey crowd seems
to wish for any snipet of bad news. How about giving the Thunder
Chickens some credit? They have taken it to war and are getting the
job done. Any lack of firing on them again is a sign of good things.
Like perhaps the surge is really calming things over there. Exploding
retarded ladies excepted of course....


If you are flying toilet paper and VIPs from protected base to
protected base you can make all kinds of claims about "taking it to
war" and "getting the job done".

But the claims are crap since toilet paper and VIP transport were not
the rationale for this extremely expensive truck

Well what would you call a Ch-46 or Ch-47? Neither are expected to be
"AIRWOLF" or "Blue Thunder." Yes, it's truck. A pricey truck. But a
better truck in the long run.

no ,not better, just pricey

It might help. My mail delivery is rather slow actually. A Mail truck
with a V-12 And paddle shifters would be kinda cool. :-)

For today's trivia, the Sultan of Brunei has a custom-built Ferrari station
wagon, so there is one. And for today's coincidence, in the group
alt.autos.ferrari, one of the contributors is a woman, from the Tiger Racing
Team, with the name, "Tiger."

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

They can't do that..

Ferrari's should be red...

The white or black ones are bad enough (and as for the yellow ones). But
military "green" ...

It's not a better "truck" for the job of delivering toilet paper (VIPs
might enjoy the faster ride etc) which is all it seems to be doing
currently.

It's payload per trip is less than that of other similar sized/ powered
helicopters.. And really, to deliver stores, speed isn't overly important.

And for range.. If the only way to get supplies to a base is via the
V-22.. They're in trouble...

As for CH-47s and CH-46s.. Sure they aren't expected to be "AIRWOLF" or
"BLUE THUNDER".. But there have been real reported cases of them being
involved in hot landings and evacuations... We await what happens "when"
the V-22 is used in similar circumstances...

You know one of those last remaining al Qaeda in Anbar types is
stoking up the game to get just one V-22.

Wow Jack, did you not get laid recently or what? People here have
presented some pretty good evidence that the V-22 is working and that it
has been tested thoroughly. But you just keep sniping away! Your last
statement there is uncalled for. It really sounds like you are rooting
for terrorists to kill American soldiers.

it's at most "flying without crashing" two hours a day on safe missions
delivering toilet paper and VIPs from one base to another

and its 3 times the cost of the competition
