Message: [QUOTE="Kav, post: 234901, member: 21442"] The main reason is that the Harrier fly’s like a jet and a helo, thus the pilot need to be able to transition between two styles of flying. And according to the Pilots it's a hard jet to fly to start with. So for the most part the pilots that do the best in aviation school go the VMAT-203 and learn how to fly the Harrier :) BigLou: I think the Osprey is a sound platform. When you compare flight hours to the F-14, F-16 and F/A-18 (IIRC) during testing it’s a safer bird. :) And would you rather fly on a CH-46 :eek:, I wouldn’t. [/QUOTE]
