Doesn't the Osprey have a troubled history?

Also, do military aircraft have FDR or a CVR?

[Jolly]

It's had more than its share of troubles. As for the second question, I don't have a clue.

Hmm...

Yes, most military aircraft, including fighter aircraft, are equipped with a "black box" called flight data recorder (FDR) / crash survivable memory unit (CSMU) / integrated monitoring and recording system (IMRS) / deployable flight incident recorder set (DFIRS).

That sucks. I used to watch them fly by all the time when I lived in Virginia. A very unique sound to them, you could tell when they were going from chopper to plane mode.
