V-22: ‘Osprey Dawn’ On Atlantic As Two Birds Prepare For UK Flight
Two USMC V-22 Ospreys will fly 2100nm non-stop from Canada to the U.K. to attend this year's Farnborough Air Show.
The VMX-22 aircraft will fly from New River to Goose Bay and then directly to the show accompanied by a C-130 tanker for mid-air refueling during the final leg.
A NAVAIR spokesman said the trip was not planned to show off the long range capability of the Osprey. But he admits that such a flight is a good opportunity to demonstrate the capability.
