* MasterOfNone: Their opinion of the V-22 Osprey--it combines the dangers of both planes and helicopters while also bringing some exciting (read: fatal) new ones to the table, having the benefits of neither, and being ''ridiculously'' expensive in the bargain. [[note]] In contrast to their coverage of other military equipment such as the Bradley IFV this conclusion is extremely accurate. The Osprey suffers from many of the same weaknesses as Tandem Rotor craft such as the Chinook and the Sea Knight, exacerbating them further due to the design and orientation of its rotors, [[ExaggeratedTrope and then exacerbating them even further]] by the decision to also make it transform and attempt to fly with wings smaller than a typical single engine civilian craft. This effectively means it is fighting ''against'' multiple realities of physics that helicopters and fixed wing planes work in tandem ''with'' to fly.[[/note]]

* JustPlaneWrong: Liam in particular loves the A-10 and frequently suggests it as a viable alternative to a given problem, from the F-35 to commercial passenger liners.[[note]] The A-10 was outdated before its first flight, and is responsible for more friendly fire incidents and civilian casualties than any other US aircraft, in large part due to its deliberate simplicity and enormous cannon making it impossible for pilots to reliably use. The cannon can only land hits within an 80 foot circle of the target 80% of the time, the pilot has basically no sysyems to identify targets and has to use Binoculars to see ground targets, and the only recorded tank kills the A-10 has are all using the same bombs any US aircraft can use, not its gun.
