"V-22 DESERT TESTING FINDS PROBLEMS THAT HURT MISSION EFFECTIVENESS"

IIRC two-three airframes out of one hangar there at the airfield. Pretty interesting take-off. Don't remember seeing any landings. ;-) You're probably thinking of the XV-15. Didn't think so, the one I saw was longer in the belly with some actual cargo room. One of the rumors was that the Osprey could replace the OV-1D. The early version I saw did not have the lower fuselage bulge the newest version shows. But, this XV-15 website does specifically mention Huachuca, so maybe my mind's playing tricks. I've been remembering them as Osprey / V-22's forever. http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Mov...M-0040-01.html http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/v-22.htm |

Bill Norton in his book "Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey" states that the first V-22 flight was made in Arlington, TX on March 19, 1989. (p. 43) D |

Anyway, you're welcome. D |
