After 35 years in flight, the US military says it's done buying one of its most unique and controversial aircraft
 
Since its first flight in 1989, the V-22 Osprey has provided a unique capability to the US military.
Despite its development over the past three decades, the Osprey still faces mechanical issues.
The Marines, Air Force, and Navy plan to fly Ospreys for decades, but they don't plan to buy any more.
 
Here are the 14 extinct ocean animals (that we know of), and dozen others that are on the verge of extinction. And one that we thought was extinct but resurfaced recently.
 
The US military is the largest aircraft operator in the world, with more than 13,000 manned planes and helicopters of all types in service.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
