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

You know when Sikorsky invented the helicopter, people said the same
about it vs fixed wing aircraft. A C130 can do the same job, carry more
stuff & farther than your 30 yr old rotor craft. Only problem is a
runway. Competition? What competition? The Ch 46 And 47 will never go
any faster, fly any higher or further or be any more safe in a LZ.

And a camel won't do very well either
why do you pick the 46 47 comparison?. The V-22 is an incredibly more
expensive aircraft using twice the weight and power to deliver the same
or less cargo
The V-22 can't auto rotate and has almost twice the down wash. So
forget the More safe in a LZ crap
