If aircraft aren't "Bianary"
Why does my ATP distinguish my type ratings "by catagory"
Should I be able to get a "Powered Lift" add on .. simply because I THINK I'm qualified
As a "dual rated" pilot, I recognize only two categories.
isn't it discriminatory that Marines must fly Powered lift aircraft
and there are virtually zero commercial civilian versions To fly when they retire?
V22s are a distinct discriminated Minority class and catagory.
(And we really don't need em.)
I can hover any airplane with a strong enough headwind!!
a C-17 is a virtual STOL airplane ..
and then there are Harriers!!
even a humble King Air is faster than a V22!
Congress created that flying monstrosity--the V22-- by funding BELL.
Another congressional boondoggle..Made in Texas!
(who got RICH in the process? )
Marines are a minority service too,
so theyre forced to fly em!
They get brainwashed in Paris Island.
it's sad, really.
Useful Idiots!
