'CV-22 & Repelling'

I thought there were fast rope stability issues with the Osprey. By the looks of this, that's not the case. Based on this, I think the Coast Guard would be able to put it to good use and a new CSAR-X would as well.
 
It would be very clownish of us to not have AV-22s, EV-22s, RV-22s.....and so on. I wondered why we were going to fight over the CSAR-X when this bad boy was around. We should still recapitalize on blackhawk variants, but the V-22 is the next step up in size and capability. The blackhawks are good for when the 22 is not economically feasible. Several of the V-22's issues have been resolved, and some of the accidents were pilot error.
