slackline Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Really glad they're all alive. Those things scare the shit out of me. It's cause they suck. Glad crew will be okay.
alwyn2d Posted June 18, 2012 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
