Those Ospreys are ****ing death traps. I remember back in spring of 2000, one of them crashed during a training exercise and killed 19 Marines from Pendleton.
I do remember about that. They have fixed all kinks and they work just fine now. Crazy amount of horsepower they put out.
I have a friend that worked on "fixing" those. Suffice it to say, I would still not fly in one of those if you payed me.

Still cool to see one in person though
by it's design of a dual engine/propulsion, if one side goes terminal...
so does the entire aircraft.
and unlike a helo, it cannot autorotate.
and unlike a fixed wing aircraft, it cant glide down... IIRC.
plays well with others
