INTERVIEW
WITH AN OSPREY PILOT
AVweb gets a pilot's perspective
on the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor from active United States Marine Corps
Osprey pilot Major Wes Spaid, stationed at MCAS New River,
Jacksonville, NC. Please forgive the keyboard tapping you may hear at
times during the conversation — we assume it came from the public
relations officer who monitored our phone interview.

TOWER, "WE
NEED TO TALK"
On Saturday, the crew of United Flight 889, a
Boeing 777 with 251 passengers and 17 crew, reported they came close to
a Cessna 182 while on initial climbout from San Francisco International.
As the airliner took off, the tower controller warned the pilot of the
182, who reported having the 777 in sight, to get behind the airliner.
The encounter set off the TCAS in the 777, and the crew was clearly not
amused. The exchange is in the same order, but we've edited out
extraneous transmissions and gaps.
