Some V-22 ORD

Some stuff about issues for V-22 on LHAs here: (S-2E/G Trackers had a right wingtip to island clearance of 6-9 feet aboard HMAS Melbourne, depending on measurement criteria [nosewheel on or on right hand side of centreline]). S-2s were notorious for being lined up correctly but catching a no.1 wire - perhaps an apocryphal story - according to A4G LSOs. A4Gs had issues with other criteria [when hook to ramp clearance was 6 feet rather than minimum USN 6.5 feet for their A-4s - you pays your money and takes your chances].
