alwyn2d Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) It has been officially reported that one of the pilots in the recent CV-22 accident, Maj Luce, was the copilot in the deadly Afghanistan CV-22 crash in April 2010. Perhaps he should buy a lottery ticket. Edited June 19, 2012 by alwyn2d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
