I believe the problem the Osprey has is one of perception. Since there are so few users outside of the USA many people believe it is still a new toy that hasn't seen much use. That is obviously far from the truth but the fact remains that it just doesn't get seen by many users of this forum so they believe it has a poor accident rate.

Nine hull losses in over 25 years for a military platform with high usage is sadly not that bad!
