MV-22 Osprey

Matzos, any idea when/if this "thing" is going to see active service?

I could not find an end date for testing program. However, I found this

"The program was revived by the Clinton administration, and current plans call for building 458 Ospreys for $37.3 billion, or more than $80 million apiece, with the Marines receiving 360 Ospreys, the Navy 48 and the Air Force 50. The first prototype flew in 1989. As of early 2000 three test aircraft had crashed: no one was killed in the 1991 crash, an accident in 1992 killed seven men, and the third in April 2000 killed 19 Marines."

I think they are still having major problems and the whole system is being watched very carefully.

Saw this thing flying on Discovery Chanel, looked pretty dodgey to me
