A bitter pill to swallow.
Not doubting you Jack but what's up with all the surviability talk these days? Is the Army more concerned with their people than the MC? Though I realize the military must take certain risks with their people, it seems like those 3 Marine A/C have taken a step backward in safety. Then again, I would have thought the H-92 more surviable than the H-101 as a VIP A/C with the fuel being external (amongst other things) but perhaps these days it is: "Mission first, safety second" even for the most important people(?!).
