Ok, so they were taken with a sony, video camera. I know I know, it's not a canon or even a still cam, I think they came out alright. Here are a few...

Pretty sharp for a video capture. Nice shots. Boy, those sure are huge props aren't they. I used to drive by Bell in Grand Prairie Texas where they were testing these in the early days, they sure make a racket taking off.

Nice caps - I have to go OT and mention I workd on their avionics systems a few years ago. Amazing aircraft.

Ok, so they were taken with a sony, video camera. I'm surprised, too. Looks like they've become a lot better.

Good series.

I work in Rosslyn, VA and these fly to the Pentagon on occasion. If you've ever wanted to see a conference room full of grown men turn into little kids again, watch them as one of these fly past your 24th floor window. AMAZING aircraft.

I actually dont know what model. It isn't my camera. it was some small little black thing that said 1080 hd up top. it takes 4.1 mp photos as well.

oh wow such awesome shots!

everytime i see a prop refueling (esp that last pic) i think back to this youtube vid...

but i guess an osprey would chop off the fueling line from the plane since its rotors dont pitch like a regular chopper's

That's a great 53 clip. thankfully 22's cant chop probes. drogues, that's just a sooner or later occurrence I think.
