HMX-1

Post by Stewart Pearson »

Not sure if this has been mentioned before.

Just reading this months Scramble and they report that Marine Helicopter Squadron (HMX) 1 will take delivery of the first MV-22B early this year.

There will be a total of 14 MV-22s on stength to replace the current CH-46Es, and they will be painted in the usual HMX-1 scheme.

That guy Obama gets all the coolest toys!! :smt005

(Okay who's going to do an AI Osprey?) :twisted:

From what the Navy times is reporting, the POTUS will not fly in the MV-22s, they will be used in a support role. The POTUS new ride is still TBD...
