It's been a while since I posted so I thought I would treat you guys to a special set of photos. Yesterday to conclude a long day of "warrior-based" training missions, two CV-22 Osprey helicopters landed on the terrazzo. They are becoming widely used in Afghanistan and have a distinct advantage over traditional helicopters in that they can rotate their propellers and fly like a plane. Check them out!
Two Osprey were present for the flyover and static display.
Here, the Osprey displays it's plane like flight, used for high speed travel.
As it begins to land, the Osprey's propellers turn vertical and allow for it to maneuver like a helicopter
