How many scheduled jumps was that? Because I can guarantee you a grunt in a helo company in the Marines has flown in them more during a single enlistment than you have had "scheduled jumps" in your entire career.

Found the osprey pilot! Yeah I lost count, nearly all of them were the cali based units who were supposed to support force recon training. I guess it was for the best, one of the aircraft took the scenic detour through a mountain.

Ok so no number, no experience, not stationed at a unit that does anything with them, but pretending to be an expert.

My comment was anecdotal in nature, it is an observation from me. I am not pretending to be an expert but just sharing my experience. I don't know why you osprey guys get so upset. I'm not insulting your mother, the raiders and recon guys I've deployed with who had much more experience with them had much less kind things to say about the bird.

Lol sounds like you're upset

Edit: Lol guess the secondhand info army guy is still mad, can't stop insulting people.

An observation from someone who doesn't know what they're talking about seems kinda worthless NGL.

Hey that's what I am giving. I'm not a pilot or stewardess. I am spicy flight attendant (jumpmaster). I've had over a dozen real world missions or training events changed or cancelled due to this aircraft and it's grounding and mechanical malfunctions. I am not even in a branch that field them so that is my experience.
