• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Osprey down

AussieMan

SOH Staff .."Bartender"
News came out late last night that a US Marines Osprey crashed off the Queensland coast. 22 Marines were rescued but 3 Marines are listed as missing. One Marine was flown to a mainland hospital with a broken leg.

Apparently the crash occurred soon after launch from an aircraft carrier. They had been taking part in a joint Australia/US exercise at Shoalwater Bay in Queensland.
 
Apparently it was attempting to land on an accompanying Transport, when things went wrong....plane and bodies have been recovered.
