Awesome photos 
Was wondering if any of you have a movie function on your digital cam?? I would love to see one of those aircraft in action. I have seen them on television before but never in the takeoff stage!

Here's a closeup of two very happy "blottles"!
A special thanks to Vortex Ring for the Boeing contact!
Thanks to everybody on the Osprey team who went waaaaay out of their way to show us around, their Chief Test Pilot must have talked for four hours straight. I was hoping he'd sign off our endorsements after that brief!

Sweet action or what eh...
Glad to see you guys hooked up. So when is CHC placing an order? I figure it would make short work of those trips out to the rigs.
We saw it takes off one day at Shearwater and do a 180 turn out to sea as he converted to aeroplane mode.......man alive by the time he left the confines of the airfield to the south that baby was doing 250 knots easy....schwing!

I have seen some take-off video of the XV-15. So far I haven't seen any of the Osprey and will likely have to depend on someone working at the base to get that as I had to be supervised by the test pilot.
Here's another shot of the instrument panel. Amazingly easy to navigate through all of the functions once we were shown how. Makes our old 61 cockpit really look "steam driven".
