Tigerfish,
As a 70 something with more than 40 years flying experience in a wide variety of machines, I can assure you that I do not have an axe to grind concerning the V-22. You are correct in that...

I agree any accident is one too many. It will be argued that I have just dug up old bones as a V-22 hater. That is far from the truth. I hope our US servicemen and women have the best and safest...

Why the Over Sensitivity?

Lonewolf 50 This was never meant to be the beginning of a witch hunt. I do not agree completely with your logic. While approaching that point where dinosaur is the term most used when describing...

No Horse in the Race - Just an Interested Gadfly

This article caught me totally by surprise. Marine V-22s fly over my house in Southport, NC nearly every weekday. They are typically very low, slow and I must say very noisy while doing patterns at...

Ref. Heavy Lift Helicopters SK-65 Flight Manual

The Sikorsky CH-53D is capable of hovering IGE at a ten foot wheel height at ISA +20 at 15,000 feet up to almost 32,000 lbs. At 95ºF and 15,000 feet it still has the ability to hover IGE at 28,000...

It was always my understanding that the ballistic tolerance of a rotor blade was a function of the robustness of the structure. A wide cord blade would be more balistically tolerant than a narrow...

JD
Correct me if my recollection of the time frame is a little fuzzy but I believe that the L model had plenty of excess performance allowing G-12 to lift the load and climb straight up. The only...

Typical doctrine for multiple ship operations in the H-53 called for the wingmen to get on the ground first during the landing phase. This insured, assuming landing into the wind, that the dust and...

Having been part of rotary wing, military and civil, aviation for the best part of 40 years I can appreciate the Marine Corps and the V-22 community’s loyalty to their machine. Over the years I have...

I believe that the discussion is getting a little of track and far too emotional. Comparing the mishap rates for the 53 series to the V-22 is at best misleading. The CH-53A was conceived in June...

It Appears as if the Political element has already been addressed
