Weird Plane News

On Thursday evening, I saw a strange gray VTOL plane flying over the Hudson. Neat, I thought. Then just now I found that the plane, the V-22 Osprey, is the subject of a cover story in Time Magazine concerning its decades-long development, the great number of lives already lost to its testing, and its imminent deployment to Iraq despite the further danger and cost that such a decision represents. Still, it looked pretty neat.
