While we were in the hangar looking at Bob's crashed airplane we heard
what I at first thought was a helicopter landing. I looked out
and saw a V22 disappearing down behind a hangar. We grabbed our
cameras and jumped into Bob's vehicle and drove over to the ramp.
A V22 was doing touch and goes. Here are my pictures.
A couple of Mazda four rotor engines would be perfect for
a scaled down version. Better range than turbo props.

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

WOW  Very exciting !!  I wonder what happened to the Japanese attempt to
make a scaled down version ? I thought they had hired former engineers
from the V-22 project.
