My guess is that there will be a significant gap. Pave Low is scheduled to depart this year & Osprey won't be available yet...First operational AFSOC CV-22 squadron is 8 SOS (formerly MC-130E) at Hurlburt Field - not sure how many Osprey they have at present, but it's just a handful. OCU at Kirtland, 71 SOS, has four or so I believe.
