XLR8 Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Theres a show on the military chanel about the V-22 Ospray tonite,at 9 pm oclock central us time.Look pretty good.
S77th-konkussion Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I've seen a couple of them flying about here in Richmond. The V.A.N.G. F16's departed a little bit ago, I'm not sure if we have/will have Ospreys here or not.. By the way- if they show the white prototype V22 landing on the USS Wasp (LHD-1) I was BMOW & standing right next to the cameraman during those flight ops. It was it's very first shipborne landing.

Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

CrazyAggie05 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I can't even begin to tell ya'll how amazing it is to see this thing fly in person. First of all it sounds and looks wicked, but the whole high speed pass with a transition to hover is incredible! I love my job :pilotfly:
XLR8 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 The show was great.I watched the development of it in the early stages of testing,when I worked at bell.When it flew at bell people would line the road to watch it fly.I have seen some pretty cool concept drawings of it,as a gun ship.I believe it is the future of things to come.
