ok but ask yourself this:
how many people died and how many crashes did ohh say the f4u's have compared to how many this a/c has, not saying the two are the same type a/c but the f4u's had bad problems with shipboard operations until the british refind the a/c for carrier use, guess what im saying is areonautics is a dangeruos field expecially with new designs. hell the marine version, the mv-22 is suppose to be takeing the place of the really old ch-46e's ive mecheniced on both, but look at the track record of the 46 when it first appered in NAM!!!
scary
