[Leica] RicC PAW 25

[Jim Nichols]

The Osprey is a miserable thing to taxi at a busy airport.  One clipped 
a rotor on a hangar at Nashville (BNA) a few years ago. I'm sure they 
prefer smaller fields.

Fort Campbell sends its large helicopters down here for practice sessions.

>> Very nice collection this week, Ric.  Those are the best airborne photos of the Osprey that I've seen.  It is hard for me the believe that, as a USAF Sec. Lt., I was the project engineer on the wind tunnel test of the original proposed configuration that Bell submitted, in the Wright Field 20-Ft Wind Tunnel in 1952.  It took a lot of years to get it sold to the Defense Dept.
