I had the incredible privilege back in April to join the 7th SOS at RAF Mildenhall for a sortie in one of their CV-22B Ospreys.

Needless to say it was one of the coolest things I've ever done - sitting on the open ramp on the way back with night vision goggles was one of those "am I really doing this?" moments. I really hope you're interested enough to read more - see below! :)

Cracking stuff, certainly looks like you made the most of your opportunity!
 
They're just brilliant..no ifs, no buts. That second one gives a real feel of what it's like airborne and in that position..Not something I'd be comfortable with though.....acrophobia and all that lol
 
Considering what these things cost it should have been a very memorable trip, lol.
Wicked photos, great job!

Really cool, read your article - fantastic write up. Being ex-mil I've been able to get some great rides but still envious!
