Pilots find V-22 riddled with flaws
J. Stryker Meyer
North County Times
A group of military combat helicopter pilots, test pilots, aero engineers and researchers have written to President Bush requesting a multi-agency investigation into the "fraud, abuse and waste over a 20-year period" of the V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft program "by organizations which have no vested interest in the program" ---- the FBI, U.S. attorney general, FAA and National Transportation Safety Board.
The letter is signed by retired Air Force Col. Harry P. Dunn, flight test manager and pilot for the Vietnam-era HH-3 "Jolly Green" rescue helicopter. Dunn spent seven years in the Pentagon as legislative liaison for the secretaries of defense and the Air Force. Included in his group are two former V-22 test pilots and two unnamed military members still assigned to the program.
