Osprey sighting

Filed under military at 3:58 pm 

Living in relative proximity to Quantico, we frequently see various aircraft flying over, or hear feel bombs going off on the days they’re doing their bombing (i.e., the “NoiseV-22 Osprey Advisory” days). After work a few days ago a couple planes flew over the house twice, and I didn’t recognize them. That is, until I read the paper the next day. The V-22 Osprey have been in the news this week due to their upcoming deployment to Iraq, and a couple were at Quantico for the announcement. They were pretty awesome flying over, but it would have been more impressive to see them carrying a Hummer.

    You know, I paid attention when they started building these things, and I remember when they started testing them, but I had NO idea that they weren’t in production yet. That’s amazing to me.

    I’m envious that you got to see them though. :)
