Tiltrotor Stuffs... Last Updated on 2009/05/23

I have been collecting patches of V-22 Osprey, XV-15 and others. V-22 has two variations; MV-22 for Marines, and CV-22 for Air Force. The squadrons involved were HMT-204, VMMT-204, and VMX-22. Additional patches, such as flight testing, aircraft number are also available.

LINKS!

Historical Background:

There's been lots of flight tests on aircraft with this kind of idea...

The V-22 was a joint project of the Boeing Company and Bell Helicopter Company

The first V-22 rolled out on May 23, 1988.
