  • With a price tag of about $84 million, the V-22 Osprey is the world’s first production tilt-rotor aircraft. The MV-22 Osprey, flown by the Marine Corps, has the ability to take off vertically like a helicopter and then convert into airplane mode and fly up to 300 mph like a traditional turboprop plane. In combat, the Osprey is capable of inserting up to 24 soldiers into remote areas without a runway or air-traffic-control towers. Insider visited Marine Corps Air Station New River in North Carolina to see what it takes to fly and operate these aircraft.

      I was actually a mechanic for this squadron. A lot of things get written up for maintenance. but there is a priority of things to get taken care of. work on the engine would be prioritize over something that is more cosmetic. if a worn seat doesnt prevent a plane from flying then there is no point in putting in the effort to replace it when manpower can be allocated to something more important like something the powerplant, avionics, or hydraulics.

    VMM-261! Hell yeah! I was at that base (MCAS New River) when they transitioned from the CH-46 Sea Knight in 2008. We [MAG-26] were the first to adopt and fully transition to the MV-22 and retire our CH-46's and CH-53's. I got to New River 2007 when the transitions were just starting, and it was awe inspiring to watch these things fly. Watching the AH-1W SuperCobras and UH-1N Iroquois (which have since been upgraded to the AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom, which you can see a Viper at 10:06 with the 4 bladed rotor) from MAG-29 was a bonus.

      I know that sound well. Here in L.A. whenever the president comes to town, three Ospreys shadow the Marine One helicopters from LAX to where ever the event is that he is attending. They are significantly louder but at a lower frequency. You'll never sneak up on anyone in one of these. But I think the shadowing is part of the evaluation process to see if they can eventually replace the aging helicopters.

    In addition to the Naval Academy, another great route for future Marine aviators to consider is the Platoon Leader's Course, or PLC. It used to require a minimum of 60 college credit hours but you can apply when you are a college freshman. Two six-week courses in between academic years, or one 10 week course. If you pass that, when you finish college you get your commission. Used to be one of the very few ways to guarantee a slot to flight school, as well.
