New F-22 Raptor jets spooking pilots

That's the VM-22 osprey. It's Marine not Navy.

The prob was the air filtration unit on it. It was sucking up so much sand in Iraq and the Stan causing it to blow and crash. Its been fixed and is now one of the best machines we have!

wow, sand getting up in shit when fighting in a desert?...who would have ever thought.

How many people died in those things before they figured out sand might fuck with rotating mechanical parts?

 

[SpyWizard]

yea, next thing you know the gov will have us buying carbon credits..

oh wait..

 

[PICK3]

air force pilots have brass like nobody here can even fathom...if they think the thing is flying coffin for some reason then there's a problem.

butt taking your concerns to 60 minutes while an ongoing investigation is continuing at the congressional level is prob knot good for your career

if your boys were dying and the air force kept sending you up in these death gliders cause the program was just too expensive and too many high level military/industrial concerns were at stake....you'd probably have to take it up with 60 minutes too. Oxygen cutting out when you're tryin to make cuts at 800mph ain't cool...jus sayin

Air Force pilots are pussies. Try landing a Jet spot the size of a football field thats moving at 30mph and bobbing up and down.
Oh, and they have to catch a 3 inch diameter cable with a six inch wide hook while doing that.

I know who would of thought sand and rotating part don't mix. When I was in SOI we had kids poring CLP on their bolts and getting sand in it and wondering why it was jamming lol pure genius at work.
