Hi Magoo & Company

Never had a problem with the V22 when Boeing ran the program alone. Bell is the one that has the track record of trying to cut corners.

Flew in Prototype #1 when we took its delivery at Philadelphia. Would I ride the others? YES.

FYI Neither of those 2 gentlemen named have the POWER
to halt the program. It has been in place not only to replace the Marine's Inventory, but the Navy's and Coast Guards as well.

You will NEVER see its demise. THAT is a quote that you can bank on. WHAT *may* change is its builders
or should we say the consortiums composition.

See my additional posting to Jose.
