First person to correctly name the airframes pictured gets a worthless internet cookie!

I'm no good at naming planes and helicopters, but is that a Huricane? Now do you pilot those?

It's the MV-22 Osprey. I don't fly them (I wish! Someday, maybe), but they're an awesome airframe.

Ah yes, the Osprey. That's the one that tilts the copter blades, right? The others must also be naval helicopters. I just can't place them. The middle one almost looks like a chinook but that's Army I think.

100% correct! Watching Ospreys take off is really cool because they sometimes start out in plane mode and then transfer to helicopter mode as they leave the deck. The first is an MH-60S, used by the Navy, and the middle is indeed a Chinook. Some Army units get their landing qualifications on Navy ships (this was news to me).

Cool. Thanks. Must be fun to ride in them.

Nice pictures Snowqueen, but after the storms we've been getting the last two days and continue with today, I'd rather not think about clouds at the moment. :wink5: I want some sunshine! :lol:

Niamh, Thank you. No, I'm Russian, but I live in Lithuania. Lithuania is in the neighbourhood with Latvia. We just came to Riga to take part in competitions)

Virgil, thanks ^_^
