Marine Corps Ospreys "writing the book" on long-range deployments
A pair of USMC MV-22 Ospreys completed two non-stop, coast-to-coast flights last week to prepare for the tiltrotor's forthcoming flight to England.

VMX-22 launched two Ospreys from their home at Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C., Monday, landing at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., nine hours later. Both made the trip back to New River Thursday, making that flight in just eight hours.
