  3. A comprehensive review of the #V22 Osprey released Dec. 12 by the U.S. Navy’s Naval Air Systems Command #NAVAIR exposes critical safety and readiness concerns with the #Bell #Boeing #tiltrotor, including serious #safety risks that have persisted for years and remain unresolved. My latest story for The Air Current breaks it down. #aviation #aviationsafety theaircurrent.com/aviation-saf

  4. My first story of 2025 is a continuation of my biggest story of 2024. New details about the risks posed by inclusions in the gearboxes of the #V22 #Osprey, with a near-catastrophic incident in New Mexico occurring almost exactly one year after the CV-22B crash in Japan that killed eight people. Plus, like all of The Air Current's #aviation #safety reporting, it's free for everyone to read: theaircurrent.com/defense/v-22

  5. I feel like I should drive home an important point as I continue to see videos of #VP #KamalaHarris flying on the #V22 #Osprey. The inclusion-related defects uncovered by my reporting are NOT detectable before failure. There is NO guarantee that the pilots will be able to land before a catastrophic failure. HMX-1 pilot quals and maintenance don't make a difference here. #aviation #safety theaircurrent.com/aviation-saf

  6. Back in July, I confirmed that the failure that caused a fatal #USAF #V22 #Osprey crash was most likely due to a material defect, so I was genuinely surprised when this wasn't mentioned in the official report. I've spent the past 3 weeks trying to learn why. Although I never actually pinned down the why, boy did I learn a lot about the who, what, when, where and how — and all of the details are now online at The Air Current. #aviation #safety #defense theaircurrent.com/aviation-saf

  7. Another bird is checking out my crumbs, but not coming any closer.

    I think it's a pigeon of some sort.

    Soory for the shitty pic, but my shitty Handycam does horrible pixelation things at max zoom.

    Especially when called from within an app. Anywhere outside #Tusky, it still turns itself off after 5 seconds. Go figure.

    This just started happening with #v22, too, the being able to use the cam here. It's not a bug, per se. Just weirdness in a very niche set of circumstances that I call a win!

  8. I am so much loving on #Tusky #v22, being able to edit AltText and focus point on already posted images!

    Thanks again, you crazy coders!

  9. I've always thought this thumbwheel which controls engine nacelle tilt in the V-22 was one of the slickest human-machine interface designs

  11. #V22 #Osprey just flew by overhead. Those things are loud! #NYC
