Whoa! V22 Osprey!

One of these things just blew my my house!

I live on a hill above the Chattahoochee in Sandy Springs (Atlanta) GA, and aircraft tend to follow the river quite a bit.

Well... A V22 Osprey just blew by at what was for me, eye level!

Holy shit! I'm used to the sounds of roters, but this one caused little waves in my coffee!! I couldn't get to my camera nearly fast enough!

Wow these things sound awesome!

I would NEVER ride in one of those deathtraps... When I was in the Marines, flying in one of those pieces of shit was a bigger fear than charging a machine gun position. Ask Gobbles what he thinks of the Osprey...

Cool concept, and cool to look at, from a distance . . .

Many many disaster stories about those things. I have heard a lot abut these things during testing that it would make your head spin.

I've read and heard first hand how much of a pile of sh!t, underdeveloped, pig of an aircraft this thing is. It does look cool though, and is a great concept. Execution has been a disaster thus far.
