CMV-22B Osprey Rollout
- Thread starter Ozarky
- Start date
Nah, that's too expensive, and those assets are needed elsewhere. DTS will allocate them a ticket home on Amtrack and per diem of $0.42 per day.
Almost 69.
The first 55 jets were built in 1955-1957. First flight 1 Aug 55. Those jets are all retired or crashed.
There are 30ish jets flown now. Four built in '68, and the rest in the 1980s.

Amtrak? That's living large. I knew of a crewmember that got sent from ElCentro to Cherry Point with a nasal block via Greyhound.
Holy shit. Did he survive the trip?
Unknown. He still hasn't arrived Cherry Point yet.

It took him 7 days, He was a little wiry guy so he fit in the seats. My lanky frame would not have survived.
You know…if Mav had been assigned to flying rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong his airframe would have outlived the F-14 by 18 years and have been fielded 10 years before the F-14 hit the fleet.

I flew a couple of times on VMR C-9s. They kept those birds looking very smart and shiny inside and out, as opposed to the Navy C-9s; looks like they're doing the same with their C-40s.
