It seems like those ospreys crash fairly regularly.
I wouldn't want to get on one.
Are they more dangerous than helicopters? Actually I know some of the military helicopter designs are pretty safe, hence like Marine One. Still, I'm curious.
They are complicated machines and more prone to error than helicopters from what I have read.
They are worse than helicopters by far if an engine goes out. No gliding.
Only when the passengers have seen too much.
"Widow maker" is a charming nick name.
They are not quite as simple to fly as they first thought, bit like the Harrier.
