And no one will ever do an autopsy or investigate into any of it, this if going to get worse and worse. Wait until they make pilots get jabbed again in the fall, Lord help us.

For some context, the Osprey is very very difficult to fly and since it's early days has suffered a plethora of crashes both from the challenge of flying it and technical issues. It was severely over budget and suffered a lot of early crashes.

The crash last year was due to a transmission issue which was "known" but could be "worked around".

The aircraft has been grounded numerous times due to similar hardware problems.

It's got a long history, and it's not a good one. In this specific case -- only because it's a V22 Osprey -- I would suspect technical problems before pilot incapacitation.
