It's not a "new aircraft"


"New" has nothing to do with age; it has everything to do with time in
service.

Something Vkince and the anti V-22 crowd seem to ignore.

Twenty years of flight and still new. Interesting idea, stupid, but
interesting.

I think "new" in this case is relatively low operational hours.

I was in the first Air Force unit to get UH-60A which type the Army
had already been flying for several years. Ours were new from the
factory. I no longer recall the specifics, but the entire fleet, Army
and Air Force, was grounded due to an Army mishap. The Air Force fleet,
small as it was, was grounded for over a year. If memory serves it was
over a year and a half. We had the helicopters a relatively short time
before the grounding.

H-60 is a much simpler system, but these things happen and we did
wind up with a good helicopter.

To Vkince and the rest of the anti-Osprey crowd, that alone justifies
cancellation.
