While I'm on the Military Kick ...

...I thought I'd post this picture that was sent to all of us at Aechelon.


It's a picture taken in Iraq of the first MV-22 to make it over. When Carrie and I worked at Patuxent River we saw these flying around base all the time, as Pax River is a Naval Test Range where the Navy tests out a lot of the new aircraft prior to them entering service.

More recently my company worked as a subcontractor to provide the visual system for the trainers located at MCAS New River where these pilots train and the picture was passed along to us.

Here's an article discussing the deployment.
