[quote=PappyB;108039]I hear all your points, but it's still hard to believe the story is 100% BS. When someone like Cheney tried so hard to kill the program, it just makes me think there something fishy going on.
I haven't kept up with the triumphs and tribulations of the Osprey program, but I agree that when Dick Cheney tried to kill the program, something must have been really wrong with it.
He killed the A-12 (rightly so) when it was proven that it wasn't going to be the great attack aircraft it was promoted to be. True, the Navy got stuck with the F-18 as the A-6 replacement, but it is still a better alternative to what the A-12 would have been. |
