Two V-22 Ospreys over Manhattan. Pretty crazy seeing them; I see Chinooks and Blackhawks every once in a while but these are the first Ospreys I’ve ever seen.

No doubt something to do with the POTUS.

More reasons to never vote for New Yorkers, messing up the airspace.

My first thought as well, living in the nation’s other capital...

Pretty selfish not to move the family outside of New York.
Bringing further commuter and living chaos to the city.

I saw one from the car club once. My picture looked pretty much the same.

Meanwhile over Houston, worst picture ever of a possible Osprey (you can’t see it, but it had a good-sized fish):
Obviously I need a better dashcam if I want to capture nature instead of just beater Pontiac minivans with burnt out brake lights.

I saw a couple of them doing takeoff/landings near Salton Sea about a year ago. They’re pretty cool to see in action.

There were some fighter jets flying over Manhattan last year when I was at the Car Club

Super cool - we had a pair of them at fleet week a couple years ago up here. They sound so much different than anything else.

Definitely- I heard them long before I saw them!
