The MV-22s will replace the CH-46Es currently operating with the squadron.


Government waste at its finest! RIMS!

The $70 million price tag is daunting. In 2009, the Government Accountability Office estimated that each flight hour of the Osprey costs more than $11,000.

Ulsh said the figure now was below $10,000 per hour and that as with all aircraft, continual use would help bring down the price further for the Osprey.

They are essentially the worst aircraft in the US arsenal for safety, but damn they look COOL!

This is a black president.

You should see the Halliburton RIMS on the DHS golf carts.

But yeah, that platform is not that safe; but maybe the military knows something we don't. Maybe a litmus test for the Privates. I mean generals are good but the grunts know posse comitatus.
