These didn't get much attention.
What is "much attention"? Are we supposed to see every Class A incident on the evening news or front page of newspapers? I suppose David Axe and Bob Cox are getting complacent in their old age. (Though Cox would have a hard time penning another V22 hit piece within a Eurocopter press release.) I'm sure Carlton Meyer will have these up on G2mil if he doesnt already, front and center.

There are plenty of new stories about both of them online.

The flagging of the airframe as being "destroyed" in the June incident is dubious

Officials said the aircraft was slightly scorched but was neither caught fire or was badly damaged.
A Marine Corps spokesman says an Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft sparked a grass fire at a Dare County bombing range, resulting in little or no damage to the vehicle.
Spokesman Mike Barton says the aircraft may have been slightly scorched, but did not catch fire and was not badly damaged.
