Reversal of blame allows pilots in 2000 Osprey crash to rest in peace, families say - U.S. - Stripes
Success has many fathers, but so too many fatal accidents. Interesting decision to make public a statement that (in my words) NATOPS is still written in blood. Without that fatal mishap, the program would likely not have resolved a variety of issues, or at least gotten better info on, aircraft behavior that influences operations currently and into the future. Even in our age of fancy new and modern aircraft, actual flying still involves risk to life and limb. Over the years the risks have gone down or been mitigated, but not eliminated.
RIP, gentlemen.
