[QUOTE=rick-l;4696143]Were the guys on the show with the velcro patches test pilots? I thought it was to go from program to program.

No, they were part of the Fighting Chickens or some such, (and I'm not making that up, it's a Marine thing from back in the day)
they were a command(if that's the right term) of 10 Osprey in Iraq, and what Sniper said is right, the only armament they have is a 50cal in the tail, I don't see why we need to spend that kind of dough on these things.
