Good morning all! Fun day planned, not really! Off to the surgeon to repair a trigger finger release. I will have to miss the Monday range session with the guys for at least 1 week maybe two

Good luck, lets hope for just one week.

Ospreys were scary when they first came out.
How many men did they kill b4 they got that thing sorta mastered?

Fewer than the phrog it replaced. But there was a huge accident that killed 24. Since then, it has been “people reasons” for incidents and deaths.

The reason it seemed like they were so dangerous was because of modern media. When it’s predecessor came out there were a lot of incidents, but being it was in the 1960’s (soooo long ago) , the printing press hadn’t been invented yet.
The military didn’t release bad press if it didn’t have to, and news didn’t spread like it did in the 90’s.

Plus the osprey cost about $93m each in the early 90’s.

About 3.1 per 100,000 flight hours.

Don't know but I am a googlepert and the Osprey appears statistically similar. Sure isn't what the media would have us think?

For every 100,000 flight hours, the Osprey has had 3.2 mishaps involving loss of life or damage exceeding $2 million, Marine spokesman Capt. Ty Balzer said in an email. That compares with a rate of 2.98 per 100,000 flight hours for the CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters the Ospreys are replacing.

SPOKANE — The mother of a Marine killed when a military aircraft crashed in Hawaii says her son joined the Marine Corps because he wanted to “do something bigger and better.” Michele Barron, of Spokane Valley told The Associated Press that Joshua Barron loved to fly, loved his job and was...

“The 10-year average mishap rate for MV-22′s is 3.16 per 100,000 flight hours,” Hernandez wrote on July 8. For comparison, that rate is lower than the AV-8 Harrier jet, variants of the F/A-18 Super Hornet, the F-35B fighter jet and the CH-53E Super Stallion. The 3.16 Osprey mishap rate is near the total Marine aviation platform average of 3.1 per 100,000 flight hours, the major wrote.

Morning ... distracted = late post

 

[Firehawk]

Busy day today.

Had a full day scheduled at a hospital in Indy. This morning I got high priority calls from Logansport, Lebanon, and Richmond. Logansport and Lebanon are done. Just starting my “full day” in Indy now. Still have to get to Richmond afterwards.

Fortunately I don’t often get this crazy busy.
