V 22 in Halifax...Very cool

[winchable]

Maybe you guys at Shearwater can help me out,
I met two Scot's at the pub the night before this thread was posted, and I'm trying to figure out what they were flying and if anyone actually saw them (or if they were two Scot's taking the piss because I told them throwing telephone polls isn't a sport)
I know they weren't flying this...thing, but from what I remember they were flying one big one full of fuel and two smaller ones and they were doing mid-air refuels with.
Anyways, Cheers for any help.

Someone needs to get a new perscription for their glasses.   ;D

Someone needs to follow the conversation and draw their conclusions from more than just this thread :

The Scots would be part of Team Apache that's here for a few more weeks. Doing icing trials on the British Apache Longbow. As for the high-lighted sentence, were you drunk when you typed that or just trying to be purposely vague?  ;D

Where do you put the bloodhound on this bad boy inch? 

You sit on top of it Dr Strangelove style!

Naw, I just saw Inch's machine. Too bad it wasn't the Hillier Hornet ;D

Thanks for the info, but I already said it was indeed an Osprey. I'm going to let you in on a little secret us pilots have, we use these things called radios and when a tilt rotor aircraft that looks like an Osprey, is painted grey like an Osprey, and uses the call sign OspreyXX, it's probably an Osprey.

As an aside, thanks for the clarification on the longbow, I thought it was a US whirlybird. Wasn't allowed on that side of the hangar when I was there.
