276/R365 - Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey - Fort Hood - Killeen, Texas

The V-22 Osprey is a joint service multirole combat aircraft utilizing tiltrotor technology to combine the vertical performance of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft. With its rotors in vertical position, it can take off, land and hover like a helicopter. Once airborne, it can convert to a turboprop airplane capable of high-speed, high-altitude flight. This combination results in global reach capabilities that allow the V-22 to fill an operational niche unlike any other aircraft. This aircraft has filled the assault support role for the US Marine Corps with the MV-22 since 2007. The US Air Force & the Air Force Special Operations Command has utilized the CV-22 variant since 2009. The US Navy began taking delivery of the CMV-22, featuring long range fuel tanks, in 2020. The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force utilizes a modified MV-22 in humanitarian support, search and recovery, and transport missions. The US Marines also utilize their MV-22s in a presidential support role at HMX-1.

This photo was taken in 2013 during my previous Project 365…please visit my album for this “REMASTERED” Project 365 as I revisit each day of 2013 for additional photos to share!!

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
