With respect, Mel, a member of the bad press (name of Axe) whose blurbs were linked to our PPRuNe V-22 threads by a few of the usual axe grinders and Osprey haters is the kind of crap I am talking about. This style of "reporter" never stops dredging up 3, 5, 7, year old issues (many of which were resolved as the program moved forward) as the "evidence" that there was still something wrong with the V-22.
I will not further derail this F-35 discussion with V-22 stuff, but the styles and attitudes of
some of the press who follow military aircraft acquisition aligns very well with the term disingenuous.
