N-a-B... not to mention the fact that the brakes on an Osprey are of the parking variety. Still dubious about the tanking value of a vehicle with a VTOL payload of 10000 lb at 200 nm radius, though (and shipboard STOL so far has been tested experimentally, not demo'ed operationally).

The OV-10 stuff is interesting. So why is the Navy suddenly interested in the only fixed-wing combat aircraft, other than a STOVL, to have been tested on an LHA/LHD?
