Interesting to note:
"Darcy said the CV-22 -- a prototype that was not equipped with the de-icing equipment that will be standard on operational aircraft -- began flying on instruments after hitting severe thunderstorms and icing conditions."
DUH! However, with moisture evident in the air and at low temps, they shouldn't have been flying there anyway!
I'm sure our good friend Mr. Lappos is willing to give his $0.02 on why Sikorsky products ... errrr helicopters in general ... are superior!
