(Hey, one of the Air Force geeks on this forum is so "passionate" that he even went to far as to threaten my life for criticizing it! No lie. You'll notice that he does not post on here anymore.)
Oh I'm still here you ignorant, arrogant, loudmouthed jacka$$ and now you've firmly placed yourself on my "idiots I plan on meeting face-to-face with someday" list. If you want to start slinging mud again on here, then game on!!
Ah Jeff...so ill-informed. Are you even a pilot?
This comment is so incredibly stupid and uneducated it's deplorable yet stands to once again illustrate the ridiculous assertions and attacks made by FH1100 Pilot on nearly every subject he chooses to stick his nose into. If you actually took the time to find out and RESPECT the qualifications of those on this message board instead of simply being the imbecile you are, you'd find out that he has more than enough qualifications to answer questions.
Jeff, your assertion that a trained V-22 pilot will "simply" roll the nacelles forward is so incredibly...galactically naive that it defies comprehension. Do you honestly believe that a V-22 pilot on (perhaps downwind) short-short final to an LZ...a pilot who is possibly being shot at and has a bunch of other things going on and is friggin' BUSY is going to be able to recognize incipient A-VRS and react in time by calmly beeping the nacelles forward, aborting the approach and flying away? Get outta here. Obviously you've never flown a helicopter in your life. Because if you had, you'd know that this V-22 pilot we're talking about is going to crash.
Where do I even begin to start with this moronic comment? Yes, FH, despite your vast amount of tactical helicopter flying experience, I must disagree with your "educated opinion." The short answer is YES, that's exactly what competent, encompassing, professional training programs are built upon.
So once again FH why don't you tell us all here what your qualifications are that allow you to post such passionate and omniscient arguments?? Are you an instructor? How much tactical flying experience do you have? Mult-engine experience? Heavy helicopters? Formal training programs attended? NVG experience? Formation flying? When did you attend test pilot school? Are you even instrument rated?
Comments such as yours come from two types of people: 1) Experienced and educated individuals who know what they're talking about but may not always use the best approach, and 2) Windbags wanting everyone to listen to them yet show their a$$es everytime they open their mouths because they feel they have all the answers and refuse to accept anyone else's arguments. I'll let others on this board be the judge.
