A CV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft sits on a landing zone during a training mission at Malone, Florida, Sept. 30, 2020. The Osprey combines vertical takeoff, landing and hover capabilities of a helicopter with the long-range, fuel efficient and speed characteristics of a turboprop aircraft. Aircrew members conducted approach and landing training, and fired approximately 600 rounds of .50-caliber ammunition, ensuring Air Force Special Operations Command’s tip of the spear capability and presence.
