MV-22 Crash

Recommended Posts

Two MV-22 incidents in Okinawa this week, one a total loss the other a major gear malfunction.

A local captured some pictures of the water "landing"...I believe they all survived but looks a bit harder than a landing.

Interesting series of pictures at this link http://mainichi.jp/english/graphs/20161215/hpe/00m/0na/001000g/1

Clipped the drogue with the prop-rotors while TAARing.

Holy shit, that's a hell of an overrun.  The probe tip is ~9ft forward of the nose when fully extended, and the proprotors are several feet aft of the nose.

Regardless, glad all 5 got out safely.
