I see theres been another CH-53 accident in Afghanistan, reported as a D model which seems surprising as theyd be long in the tooth now. Also mentioned the Hawaii based unit will be transitioning to the V22.
The article talks about a possible technical fault but who knows with newspapers these days.
Either way a new V-22 has to be alot safer than an old CH-53D.
