Another thing is COST! An Osprey costs 3 times what a BlackHawk does. I say the Marine Corps ditch the Osprey and for every one we WERE gonna buy, buy 3 BlackHawks to fill in. (I know someone will say now we need 3X the pilots, too, but think about it.....an enemy with a stinger kills one Osprey...that's 22 men....If the hit a blackhawk, we only loose half as many!)
