Did you know we retired the Phrog this weekend?
I never got to fly in an Osprey, but I did spend A LOT of time in the Phrog.

I never heard this aircraft referred to as Phrog but "shiithook (Chinook)". I though Phrog was the code name for a soviet missile. I enjoyed flying these things.

From what I know, and please don't quote me, Both the 46 and 47 were designed at the same time by Boeing. The 47 was the heavy lifter and the 46 was a med lift.

MSgt Tim Grose From what I was told back in the dark ages, (keep in mind this is dumb grunt speak) they run on top of the fuselage and synchronize the two rotors so as not to conflict and wrap around each other. I saw at least one that it appeared this is what happened, fell like a stone.
