  • @v22crewchief go argue with the BGen. who was the chief crash investigator - why u barking at the messenger? I'm just informing you of what the airforforcetimes website reported. You reflect the attitude of some Top brass who want to protect the V-22 more than soldiers lives. Most families never briefed?! Wow that's news to me. So that shit about informing the families is propaganda too?!

  • @AccordGTR

    AS far as the engine failure are you serious?? thats what you want use to hate on this plane?????

    EVERY JET ENGINE IS EATEN BY THE SAND

    2003 Iraq the good old CH-53Es (same bird the osprey replaces in the AF) Could not keep up with the demand for good motors the sand was erroding the compressor blades. If anything happend to that V22 in AF The engine failed at high altitude and fuck man shit happens in combat. Most familys are never "briefed" on how their loved ones died!!

  • @AccordGTR

    my comment has nothing to do with fuel efficency and everything to do with the fact that reguardless of speed when I flew on CH-4s we had to stop for fuel every few hours and in combat that reduces your combat efficency I could care less what the fuel efficiency is. The V-22 full gives us much longer flying time and the V-22 is twice as fast as a CH-46.

  • @v22crewchief so are you saying a CH-46 is more fuel efficient? I would guess a tilt-rotor would have more forward flight fuel efficiency than a static-rotor helo.

  • From Airforcetimes website: crash investigation of Osprey in Qalat Afghan. April 2010 revealed engine failure. Military wanted chief investigator to change his report to "pilot error". "The stresses of flying in the dirt and dust of Afghanistan probably caused the engine problems" BGen. Harvel, chief investigator said. He was not allowed to brief the families of the 4 KIA onboard. Maybe Airforce wants to coverup the reliability problems of this overpriced $67M helo?

  • If these are U.S. Marines why does this dumb fat-arse civi braud say Soldiers?

  • Hahahaha, 2:42 he said major malfunction!

  • CH46 is still better... not falling out of the sky like SOME....

  • it can fly farther becuase it carries 9,000 more lbs of fuel that a CH-46E

  • My son is an AirFrame Mechanic in New River!!

    What a plane!!!!
