Past two days we have had a visitor from Quantico. Both days they spent about 45 minutes in the pattern shooting "touch and go's".
(photos aren't the best - just a little point-n-shoot I carry in the car)
Nice being a quiet rural close by airport - Coast Guard and Army helos occasionally stop by also.

Had 2xUSMC -22's on our ramp last month. Only seen pics of the HMX-1 version, the gloss green looks good.

Re: A Visitor
The gloss green paint with the white stripes was def slick.
The wife asked me where the heck I had been for so long. When I told her she just shook her head and muttered "It figures."
She didn't really want to look at the pictures either.

Me too !! There'll be some V-22's at Maple Flag 47 in CYOD this year along with the FAF and some Chilean A/C . The French usually stage through CYMX on their way to and from Cool Lake .Joecoastie wrote:The gloss green paint with the white stripes was def slick.
