This afternoon, MV-22 Ospreys from VMMT-204 were in the pattern at Hunter AAF in Savannah, GA. It's been awhile since any of the tilt-rotor aircraft were in the Savannah area and it was good to see a couple of them working the pattern for Hunter's Runway 28.
CROSSBOW 51 and CROSSBOW 62 were the callsigns. 361.100 was in use as an air-to-air frequency between the two. Both the callsign and the air-to-air frequency have been noted on previous visits by VMMT-204.
Those that get a visual on them can attest to their unique rotor noise; the MV-22 is not something you will mistake for something else. The noise is just as distinct as that of a C-5 or an HH-65.
