The CV-22 Osprey is a tiltrotor aircraft that combines the vertical takeoff, hover and vertical landing characteristics of a helicopter with the long-range, fuel efficiency and speed characteristics of a turboprop aircraft. Its mission is to conduct long-range infiltration, exfiltration and resupply missions for special operations forces. ( Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Joseph Pick)
