    They're ahead by 5 runs; they look like they've been here.  We should act like we've been here and have seen 87 mph fastballs before.

    JFC... talking about the SS and his catch. He was positioned right. He did everything but take a lap around the infield. Chill

    Saw that earlier today. Good that he has that experience and can pass it on. 

    Like @Valmy77 stated up posts, these guys have played at collie station, bumfuck lubbock, and even now down at san marcos where fans/johhny come lately(s) can be nasty. 

    Nothing shuts up a home crowd better than a 1st inning 3 run Ivan blast.🤘

    Maybe you need to review how many helicopters crash in this country every year. We average at least a dozen if not two just in the air medical field. Max payload for those depending on platform is typically 3+1. Makes sense an increased capacity would equal an increase in causalities

     

    Maybe you should stick to the piano.

    Lots of helicopter crashes per yr here in the states (2019 had 122 with 24 fatal. I'm not going to look up '20 or '21 for you)

    Dozen or two in the air medical field per year? Wrong. 

    Italics below is regarding 2006-2015....12 in 2010. Unfortunately HEMS still loses around 6-9 aircraft per year and has been trending down since '15 overall. Though HEMS has tried for improvements in turndowns for weather etc...the majority of HEMS is privately owned by Corporations, and if crew aren't bringing in patients, the company is not making money. Unfortunately, that can put pressure on some crew and pilots into flying when they should have had a turn down.

    US HEMS Safety Analysis

    Accidents: The 3 year moving average has dropped 33% from 12 to 8 per annum, though it seems to have plateaued over the last 5 years.  In 2015 there were 7 accidents (22% less than the 10 year average).

    Fatal Accidents: The 3 year moving average finishes as it started at 4, though the 3 year moving average peaked in 2011 at 7 (due to 12 fatal accidents in 2010).  There has been negligible change in the last 4 years. In 2015 there were 5 fatal accidents (14% more than the 10 year average).

    Fatalities: The 3 year moving average has dropped 33% from 13 to 9 per annum, though it seems to have plateaued over the last 5 years. In 2015 there were 9 fatalities (identical to the 10 year average).

    Thanks for doing that math though.

    I would have never known that medical crew plus a patient would be a less # of casualties (4) than a military aircraft capable of carrying 24 battle equipped Marines (not counting the crew) should it go down/crash.

    I didn't say "only one" was pilot error.  In fact, I said MOST were pilot error.

    My bad. I guess the Marine Corps just hires shitty pilots.

    I've got hundreds of hours of flying the V-22 simulator

    Maybe the Marine Corps should have you (since  you have  100's of hrs in the SIMULATOR) come train their pilots.

    I'm good friends with a LOT of V-22 pilots and they all love it

    Flown with many pilots in the Military and civilian sector (over 20 yrs) and the BEST, GREATEST airframe that they have flown is the one that they assigned to or flying right now.

    No it's not. (arguing with you)

    I simply stated what others had or would state about the Osprey.

    You got your panties in a wad because you designed the toilet, flux capacitor, or something like that for the aircraft....
