3Sqn_Fudd Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 On a side note, what is the operations concept of the Osprey? Is it intended as a combat transporter like the Huey or Blackhawk or would it rather fly on the safe side? I know for example that swiss Super Pumas would ferry around troops but not actually drop troops into combat. My understanding is that the Ospreys main purpose was to deliver "faster farther" performance for potential Marine sea borne invasions. The advent of cheap land based sea skimming anti ship missles has pushed an invasion force further away from a target shoreline... consequently MAU taskforces need things like hovercraft, fast beach assault craft, and a better solution to helicopters. in a nut shell..... http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU

Yep, in a nut shell. You just reminded me of old OV-10s and their part in a MAGTAF assault. Usually, 2 of them would haul ass above the tree tops, with 4 Force Recon guys packed like sardines in the back of each OV-10. Over the drop zone, sharp pull up (60 or 70 deg) , back door pops open and... off they go. It always looked like their chutes opened just in time:huh: . OV-10 winged over and got back to treetops. A lot more flexibility with Osprays.
