MckPave may be writing with less specificity than we'd like because of what happened to the active duty F-22 pilot that posted unclassified (but somewhat sensitive stuff) about the F-22. Or maybe he actually payed attention during the OPSEC class.

Some links about the hoist below. Apparently it's on only the CV, not the MV.

And for Dan Reno, I would suggest sending your FOIA request to the Air Force for the CV-22. Maybe comparing the documents to the ones you get from the truthiness-challenged naval aviation folks might be enlightening. I remember many hours sitting in the vault redacting the truth from various USAF documents. In the end the journos usually figured it out anyway. Good for them!
