CMV-22B Osprey Rollout

[Pags]

Gents,

Is that true that around 1983 some officials of BuAer had examined Fokker F28 as candidate COD platform? Is that possible for quite heavy airplane with such engines layout?

There's probably a reason it never came to fruition.

I'm 100% sure, I was at the selection.

My joke was that I'm navy and want to fly ospreys but the not bad enough to be a marine, who get it pretty easily.

"Easily"

Anyone here a USN Osprey transition whether C-2 or MH-60? Have questions... DH board looms in just a few days.

I am not but I know some guys who are.

I am in the same boat. However, I took a long hard look at that transition.

Care to elaborate? Happy to get a PM on the topic. Still haven't submitted my preferences.

Arriving!

Question - crewman trailing the 50‘ ICS cord of death in this video. Is wireless ICS for crewman in the back not a thing yet?

1. The video reminds me how much I miss North Island. Probably not the area traffic!

2. I wonder if the pilot was nail-biting as that DH Otter taxied by at 1:35? ?

3. Does this make hauling rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong a better deal?

Nice reference...was that on here? I’ve seen it elsewhere.

My buddy flew that Codsprey in from the factory! I'm having dinner with him and the rest of the crew in a couple hours. If anyone has any questions, post them and I'll try to ask him tonight.

They're planning to start at Thorn Brewing Company after the sim that they are currently in at Miramar. Probably after 1700. 2 Marines,1 Navy, and 1 AF dude.

Make the AF dude pay.

Make the AF dude pay.

I think he's senior/in charge, so that's the plan.
