How does this work? Screen capture from video.

I live in the country, way out in the sticks. I hear a deep rumbling of turbine engines and rotors, come out side and four V-22 Osprey’s fly over east to west. Very very cool. I didnt even start recording till they were headed away just cause they looked so cool i was taking it all in not thinking about recording it. Initially they were very much closer.

I’ve always thought these were very cool. If you are ever passing through ABQ an eye out for them on the tarmac. Sunport shares runway space with Kirtland AFB where the 71st SOS operates Ospreys. I caught this one taking off  a couple years ago while waiting at the gate for a flight.

They use my favorite hike at Elephant Butte (Little Kettle Top Mesa) as a landing site from time-to-time.  I was hiking out there one day when I got watch them do the things up close while trespassing on Ted Turner's land.  Come to think of it, they were trespassing just as much as I was...
