From the page: "Once derided as a white elephant, the U.S. Marine Corps' tilt-rotor aircraft, the V-22 Osprey, is proving its mettle in Iraq, military officials said." These planes fly over my home fairly regularly. They're noisy but they really look cool. (I don't mind the flights at all.) In Oct. 2007 I had the chance to meet a pilot of one of these planes. He stated that he feels it is a safe aircraft. And the pilot is the first guy at the scene of a crash.
