Thanks Everybody!
My son goes to Iraq for the first time in September. He'll be there with the first ever fleet of V-22 Osprey helicoptors to be used in a combat situation. My son will be in charge of the group of men responsible for the mechanical upkeep of the Ospreys. My son says his unit will be the "guiney pigs".
Here are a few pics of the new Osprey helicoptor:
Range, speed and flexibilty. Hard rules once defined by the limitations of legacy helicopters. The V-22 offers twice the speed, three times the payload, five times the range, and can fly more than twice as high as older rotorcraft it is destined to replace.
It is the world's first production tilt rotor combining the vertical performance of a helicopter with the high speed and range of a fixed wing aircraft...
...The V-22 not only rewrites the rules of mobility, it mobilizes the rules of engagement.
