Any your response has what to do with this post? Those clouds are really pretty!
It was an unusual flyover!

Since I'm retired Army, I am curious as to the utilization of the Osprey. Given that it happened at DCA, it was unusual. One wouldn't expect a flyover at DCA because of nearby prohibited airspace.

Most military RW aircraft fly up the Potomac, over the east bank, then to their destination. Most times, that is the Pentagon helipad.

Since the title of this thread is "Nice flyover!", this seems an appropriate place to post.

Fly safe!
 
Program your FMS, engage the auto pilot, and shut your man pleaser. Troll.

And don't forget abiding by the FAR's and keeping my certificate.
 

If that wasn't fake, it was certainly stupid.

One mistake...a jet into a stadium somewhere...and we will forever lose the ability to share with our citizens some of the esprit and pride that goes into being a military aviator.

Fun is fun. Professional is professional. Doing both at the same time rocks. Forgetting the second part sets us all up to fail.
 
According to AIR WARRIORS it wasn't fake. USMC Hornet and no board, or so the story goes. It happened quite awhile ago so maybe he became one of the Green Mountain Boys.
 
So that's how they do the rolling rejoin in the f-16. Nice.
