If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Cool video. That low level extraction of cargo looked pretty hairy. Extreme low altitude and airspeed combined with sharp maneuvers. It looked like a strenuous evaluation. I suppose it was never produced because the C-130 and C-123 of that era proved to be just about perfect in Vietnam. And of course high cost and safety. At least I never heard of this vertical lift transport killing several crews like the marines' V-22 Ospry did during development. Thanks for posting.
