US Air Force crew prepares their Bell Boeing OV-22 'Osprey'. I saw it (or one like it) flying around Fargo on Tuesday.

The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.
The United States Marine Corps began crew training for the MV-22B Osprey in 2000, and fielded it in 2007. The U.S. Air Force fielded their version of the tiltrotor, CV-22B, in 2009. The U.S. Navy is planning to use the CMV-22B for carrier onboard delivery (COD) duties beginning in 2021. [Wiki]
