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

Yeah, they ought to go see if they can overfly Tehran.

You really are a dope, aren't you? "Screw operational common sense, if
you're not getting hit, you're not really fighting." I bet you think
they aren't real Marines if they're not charging in through the surf,
too.

The greetings committee for any overflight of Tehran. Overflight would
be a misnomer, ground inspection of the remains would be more
accurate. Remember the Iran-Contra Hawks?

Would anyone else be shocked if Iran had 25 Tomcats flying in 2010?

Anyway, my point was that other than the occasional CSAR pickup, there
should never be circumstances where Ospreys are making any kind of
landing under fire. For that matter, if you've got any kind of
presence in a battlespace, NO aircraft should be landing under fire.
Hot LZ? Hold the troop carriers outside of the zone and soften it with
air power or artillery, and/or use one of the alternates that you
should have identified in planning.

Again ask the Afghanis if they every did in a Hind while it was
landing. RPGs, mortars and 122mms would work if they always landed in
the same direction and at the same speed. Think of it as medium range
IED. Omar, the guy who sweeps the HQ, tags his cellphone and Omar's
brother and cousins drop mortar fire or RPGs on the spot. Asymmetrical
warfare.

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.

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.
