The only thing I like about that VTOL machine is that it's named after my favorite bird. It's hard to imagine just what role it's supposed to have in today's war theaters. It seems to me like a "jack of all trades, master of none" kinda thing.

Perhaps, Maggie, but I've read that about 20 guys have died in about 4 different accidents in the development of that thing, and billions and billions have been spent. Let's hope the improvements at least make it safer, but I still like the bird it's named after better.
