Don't worry SASless, Mckpave isn't getting personsal. It's like taking some tracers in the MH-53 PAVE LOW--you spray it all with 7.62 or .50 cal suppressive fire and go on about your business. In fact I flew with him years ago in the MH-53 (a HH-53 Super Jolly Green with lots of ballast, um, err, avionics and mission equipment) and know for a fact he isn't a poser or wannabe.
It must be irritating to actually fly the V-22 and have people constantly challenge your veracity based on reports that are outdated or erroneous. I happen to know that Mckpave has a thick skin and is just dealing with naysayerss the best he can. I also happen to know that he's honest and is far removed from whatever shennanigans the Marine Corps may be playing.
I note that he started hitting the message boards about the time he became retirement eligible -- just like I did a few years before him. If you don't want the truth on the CV-22, then just ignor his posts.
