News and discussion for all things West Virginia.
Be respectful to one another.
Posts/comments should be made in good faith. None of that "I'm just asking questions" crap.
There will be no hate in this holler. Racism, bigotry, hate speech, and/or acting like a horse's ass will not be tolerated.
Memes, jokes, rants, and criticisms are allowed as long as they are relevant to WV and adhere to the rest of the community rules.
Y'all means all.
News articles should ideally have the original source as the URL even if they lead to a paywall. If you want to include a link that sidesteps the paywall, please put the alternative link in the post body.
Recent re-posts will be removed to keep the community from getting cluttered. You can re-post content, but please wait at least 90 days between.

They've been flying these obnoxious-ass Ospreys all goddamned week. Right overhead, residential area. Windows shaking all damn day.
You'd think we'd get a respite when they have to stop to refuel? Think again. They do live refueling of these, so this shit is non-stop.
I grew up three blocks away from Bell Helicopter Textron where the Osprey was built (partially) and those damn things terrified me when they would test fly them. I've seen two of them crash, like personally, witnessed crashes. They are also indeed very loud.
