Although this Aircrafts flight history hasn't been up to snuff, I think it would be a cool new Joe Vehicle, and this being G.I. Joe, its flight history could be ignored and fly without any kinks. It's an Aircraft that has been mostly ignored in the Toy World, and would make a great new Joe Vehicle. It's a beautiful Aircraft IMO and would be a great G.I.Joe version of the Star Wars Clone Trooper Gunship.

This aircraft killed more marines while still in developement than any other. Just another case of well we spent the money for it might as well use it. But I do agree it would be a cool toy.

I am pretty sure they made one of these - it just hasn't made it over to the US.

I also saw someone sell a custom of the TRU Chinook that was made into an Osprey. I'd like to get ahold of the Chap-Mei Osprey, but so far it's only over seas. As far as the actual Osprey, it was haphazardly rushed into development before it ever should have been used by soldiers. Yet again, another case of the gov't using troops as guinea pigs, with tragic results.

Yeah, but look at Harrier Jump Jets...more pilots have died in them, in non combat situations than ANY other Aircraft, yet there still out there to this Day. So you never know, if they figure out the fly-by-wire kinks, She may one day be normal Troop Carriers...IF and MAY being the key word here.

Not sure why but the Osprey seems like a Cobra type aircraft to me.

agreed. I do think a variant of the plane would be pretty badass though. |
