Could you maybe enlighten me, what makes this so much more dangerous than two helicopters
behind each other connected by a stick (Aka the Chinook)?
When in a static hover/descent, how does mother nature discriminate what is front, back, left and right?
Although it always makes for lively reading I'm a bit puzzled by the 'Witch hunt' of some here going on for the V-22.
As long as those who fly it are happy to do so, why are you all so worried? Should they not be the ones to be worried if anything?
