Everyone here KNOWS THE GOV IS GOING TO FOLLOW ON WITH OSPREY.

Most posters were simply forwarding the History and test results of the craft.

They shared from their viewpoint....thats what FR is all about.

Riccioni will still be correct in his evaluation...ie...Marines will have to fly a helo to do what Osprey cannot.

One of my Family members is a Colonel in the U.S. Airforce presently...a Freeper flew with him in Desert Storm...they both bump into each other at the Pentagon.

Another Family member flies F-15E's out of Lakenheath with the 48TH...they are back from operations Northern and Southern Watch.

I like to share about them...and other family..like one in the RAF who was a test pilot on the protoype Supermarine Spitfire.
Battle of Britian vet....wing commander etc.

or about other family who flew P-40's with the AVG ..the Flying Tigers...others who flew B-24'S with the 44TH to Ploesti.

You see...with me..its all about HONOR AND SERVICE AND COUNTRY.

Men are the Glory of a nations armed services.

Its just right to HONOR those who have earned a nations thanks...men like Riccioni...and yes...my family members too : )

P.S....who gives a rats ass about Osprey...is it worth bludgeoning others to win some prize?

Your waxing poetic is irrelevant to the issue. Why do you and people like you bring up statements/lies by people like Dunn, Neff and Riccioni if nobody "gives a rats ass about Osprey" (which is an asinine statement on your part)? Rather disingenuous to spend so much time on something you don't care about, unless of course you're grinding an ax as well. Aldridge, Dunn, Neff and Riccioni and many others have been proven to be liars in the past and they'll be proven to be liars in the future as well.

Cutting wind as I exit the Temple of the Aviation god. : )

You're an idiot. A fact which all the "relatives" you fawn over already know. They should have warned the rest of us.
