Yeah that's the craft I want to crash in! Isn't that the plane-o-chopper
that the top Marine brass kept falsifying reports on?

Nah, that was the V-22 Osprey. The Osprey has most of the bugs worked
out of it and is now a pretty fine aircraft, but it doesn't (at least
not operationally) fire missiles or drop bombs. Its a transport. The
F-35B is the Marine Corps STOVL (Short Take Off - Vertical Landing)
version of the JSF. Its the replacement for the Harrier.
