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.
Nice. Wouldn't get me w/in 50 ft. of those props when they're turning, however.
ReplyDeleteHeard there were some grumblings about the C-2 getting replaced by the Osprey. Maybe Old NFO can chime in.
ReplyDeleteYeah, couple of things... One, it just doesn't sound 'right' with those new props. And did you notice how close to the deck edge the left mainmount is? Less than a foot of clearance! There is a 'move' afoot to replace the C-2 with the Osprey. I'm hearing more than a 'bit' of grumbling about safety issues, and the fact that the Osprey (basically a helicopter flying sideways in hover mode) will cause issues with launch and recovery ops since it will launch/recover from a hover, NOT cat/trap which will mean a significant SOP change for deck ops.
ReplyDeleteWill the CV-22 carry as much cargo for as far as a C-2 can?
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing!
