I feel like I should drive home an important point as I continue to see videos of #VP #KamalaHarris flying on the #V22 #Osprey. The inclusion-related defects uncovered by my reporting are NOT detectable before failure. There is NO guarantee that the pilots will be able to land before a catastrophic failure. HMX-1 pilot quals and maintenance don't make a difference here. #aviation #safety https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/special-report-osprey-crash-inclusions-x-53-safety-assessments-bell-usaf/
