With this post I am putting a list by Carlton Meyer of Osprey V-22 crashes. American authorities have been trying to say that there have only been 4 class A accidents, but the truth is 23 such accidents for the Marines, and 4 for the Air Force. The Air Force crashes are not listed below, only Marine crashes.
この投稿で、元海兵隊士官カールトン・マイヤーさんのV−２２オスプレイ墜落のリストを書いています。アメリカ政府はクラスA事故は４件しかないと言っているのですが、真実は、海兵隊でクラスA事故が２３件、空軍でクラスA事故が４件です。この下記のリストで、空軍の墜落は入っていません。
My readers will quickly note that many crashes are simply not reported. Another way to hide problems with this aircraft is to not report grounded aircraft.
このリストを見ると、私の読者は、数多くの事故は報告していないとすぐ分かります。もう一つの問題は、航空機を隠す方法は、飛べない航空機を報告しない事です。
Military slang for such planes is "Hanger Queens". this means an aircraft that has so many mechanical problems, it spends most of it's time in the aircraft hanger instead of flying.
こう言う問題の航空機の俗語は、”格納庫の女王様”です。この意味は、航空機は機械的な問題が有り過ぎて、飛ぶではなく格納庫からほとんど出ません。
Such aircraft are used for spare parts.
そう言う問題な航空機は、予備の部品の源として利用されています。
Grounded, unusable Osprey aircraft.
飛行禁止、利用出来ないオスプレイ航空機です。

In the link above, Mr. Meyer gives us some numbers. After Congress demanded that the Marines give a report of exact numbers of Osprey aircraft in their possession, On June 3, 2009 this report was finally made.
上記のリンクで、マイヤーさんは数字を書きます。２００９年に、米議会は海兵隊に具体的なオスプレイ所有数の報告を要求しました。海兵隊は、２００９年６月３日にやっと報告しました。
The Marine Corps claimed to have 105 Osprey aircraft. Of these, only 47 were listed as combat deployable, 29 were not usable, 27 were only used for pilot training. Two more were paid for but not received.
海兵隊の報告で、オスプレイ１０５機の所有が有ると書きました。この中で、４７機は戦場へ配備が可能、２９機は利用不可能、２７機はパイロット訓練で利用されています。２機は支払い済みですが、まだ製造社から納品されていません。
It seems that another game being used by the Marines is label problem aircraft GIA, Ground Instruction Aircraft. However, in this case, doesn't it mean that the aircraft is too dangerous to fly?
もう一つの海兵隊のゲームは、有る航空機を地面指導航空機と呼びます。しかし、この場合に、その本当の意味は、その航空機が飛ぶ事が危険過ぎるでしょう？
This is a very high rate of unusable aircraft. Yet Bell Helicopter claimed it had delivered a total of 155 aircraft in this time period. So 40 are missing. What are the reasons for not reporting so many problem aircraft?
この利用不可能の航空機の比率が、とても高いです。しかし、ベル・ヘリコプター製造社の話で、この期間に海兵隊にV−２２オスプレイを１５５機を納品しました。それで、４０機は行き先不明です。その数多くの問題な航空機を報告しない理由は、何でしょうか？
Mr. Meyer provides figures for another Air Force transport, the C-17. 188 had been delivered to the Air Force, in 2009 only one was unflyable due to an accident.
マイヤーさんは、もう一つの輸送機の数字を出しています。アメリカ空軍のC−１７輸送機では、２００９年でアメリカ空軍が１８８機を所有していて、１機だけは事故で飛べない状態でした。
As a former American Marine, what really angers me here is that these numbers games, mean deaths of people. Marines die needlessly. Average civilians will die if these planes crash off base.
私は元米軍海兵隊で、この数字ゲームで怒る事は、人が死ぬと言う意味です。兵士は、意味がなく死にます。基地の外で墜落したら、普通の市民も死にます。
In the Marine Corps, it is expected to risk your life. After all, you are a warrior. Yet when your equipment, such as this aircraft, is so risky, this is a crime.
海兵隊では、命をかける事は当たり前です。やはり兵士ですから。しかし、自分達の軍備がこの様に危険を伴う事で、これは、犯罪です。
And we are supposed to protect civilians, not risk their lives every time we fly an aircraft.
それと、海兵隊の使命は普通の市民を守る事ですし、危険な航空機の墜落で市民を殺す事は使命では有りません。
But it seems that for Corporate America and many people in the military, profit is more important than safety.
やはり、企業と有る軍人にとって、安全より利益は大切です。
The crash list.
墜落リストです。
Reported は報告されました。
Not Reportedは報告していませんと言う意味です。
