Three, that data is derived from NAVFLIR inputs, which probably 3 out of 4 pilots forget to enter when doing their paperwork.
Are you talking about the flight hours or the PMC, etc numbers from the NAVFLIRs?

I recently read an anti-V-22 article, and one of its focal points was that the V-22 squadron ISO OIF only averaged something like 3.6 pax and 800 lbs cargo per sortie. To the innocent bystander, these sound like dismal numbers that justify its uselessness. To the quasi-educated bystander that knows a little bit about the way squadrons are tasked, this sounds like VIP movements (which was one of the squadron's primary missions at the time). Just another example of the media preying on the general ignorance of its audience.

I'm talking about that page at the end where you're supposed to enter pax pri 1, 2, 3, etc, and pounds of cargo. Most of the time, that's a swag, and a good part of the time, as Herc said, it's forgotten.
Hardly fair to start a discussion on "something like" instead of referencing the source. This has only resulted in undue speculation. How about identifyig the article?
I reference the ripped out magazine page that is hanging on the wall of the HMM ready room in Al Asad. Sorry dude, unable to meet the request, unless a PF can help me out.
Of course, no one will give credit to the Osprey for being in "real" combat until it comes back with battle damage, whereupon they'll start calling it a POS for getting hit.
Good job VMM-261! Hitting the ground running! Bastards! I spent 6 months on a MEU and all I got was a lousy glow belt!

"Dude" is the ultimate expression of endearment and comraderie between males, and is synonymous with "Most Revered and Venerable of my Brethren." Also on the list are "Broseph" and "Cochise."Heyjoe rates higher than "dude" on this website.
Finally, an article with some perspective. Though still not devoid of commenting on the past, a good read nonetheless.
