I pretty much stopped reading when I got to this paragraph the third time.
“Although the Greyhound is faster, flies much higher, is pressurized, has a much larger cargo hold capable of carrying the latest fighter jet engines and has a much longer range, all critical components that let the carrier operate further from shores even in bad weather, the V-22 has the ability to land and takeoff vertically. Although this feature has no value for the baseline COD mission , the Navy sees this capability as something that can change the way it does logistics for the Carrier Strike Group. “
We’ll have plenty of room at the Davis-Monatha Bone Yard for all the C2D’s to sit ready to be recalled.
It can get bo in and out of remote golf courses.
I’m not even going to go to the link after reading that.
Are the involved decision-makers brain-damaged?
I think the V-22 is produced in DFW area (?) and I’m guessing that the C-2 was produced and supported in the Northeast somewhere (Bethpage, NY maybe?).....
I’m wondering if politics are a factor...
