Absolutely love the Osprey, amazing aircre

The Osprey is such an interesting airframe, it must be exciting to fly it! Thanks for the great footage.

It is just a shame it has some many accidents, one accident causes the death of loads of Japanese kids when one went wrong and went in to a school, It's had a fair number of mishaps on aircraft carriers also

Thank you for the Film 🎥

The RAF also operates 3 rivet joints

Nice landing😃😀

Anyone know what is the shield-shaped insignia below pilot window? Air Combat Command: sounds like kit & bosses for the fighters that have been arriving in UK recently?

That's a recon plane that can track air and surface targets and relay their positions back to friendly aircraft or ground troops. It's essentially a spy plane though.

Main landing gear doors looks so frail on the Osprey.

Get to the chopper.

OF on the tail is Offet AFB in Nebraska. I think.

Identified aircraft is a RC-135 and is primarily used for reconnaissance operations.

That first CV that taxed out. Its number one engine, needs a oil check value mod or the one installed, needs some attention. I thought that campaign was complete. The somke is more of a nuisance on start. I do miss that machine.

Interesting. @ 01:30 last night Flight radar showed one US C-17 transiting direct from North Carolina (Camp Lejeune ?) to and undeclared location in Europe, whilst at the same time another Us C-17 was making the return trip after visting Reszow in South-Eastern Poland. C-17 has capacity to transport 134 troops.

They were most likely transporting shipments of weapons and other cargo to Poland to be picked up by the Ukrainians.

Great to see the RC-135 spy plane with its typical nose!

Thank you for identifying it. I was guessing those side mounted elements were some kind of radar or such, but never have seen it before.

Looks like Arnold swartzaniger appendix

The Royal Navy was supposed to get Ospreys for troop movement Marines I guess Then they got one on loan to see if it could operate from the flight decks Damn thing was to big to go down the lift and no matter how hard they tried it wouldn't fit We are talking inches to So that was the end of that Or so the story went back then......

It’s the Osprey. Used as support for amphibious operations, I believe.

Vertical is possible but the crosswinds are pretty righteous so its just safer to use the runway.

So having worked on the AC-130U at Hurlburt Field, FL across from the CV-22s, I can tell you they do those kinds of take-offs a lot. I think, as stated, some of it has to do with the wind. But with an available runway it's also just more convenient. The V-22 produces a lot of downdraft and it's kind of annoying trying to work near them when they're hovering

@afcgeo882

They also use up a bit more thrust to take off vertically and that’s a fuel consideration.

Fighter pilots: "I'm superior" Osprey pilots:

Ukraine needs Ospreys, lots of them?

Their radio voices sound hideously mangled and untelligible. Anyhow, the guys landed safely in Suffolk.

Could do without all that radio chatter.
