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!

 

Saw the dicovery special on this and it was insannneeeeeee...

 

very cool, are they a challenge to fly compared to jet vtol aircraft, how about compared to choppers? Nice sig btw, just watched that movie again the other day

 

I saw that too. Very interesting.

 

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...

 

+1

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.

 

Wait until Gobbles chimes in... He has some stories.

 

That thing looks intense!! Curious to hear some stories though!

 

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.
