Somebody previously questioned approach speeds of V-22s in the transition for landing that Sasless had described. Here is a normal base recovery approach taped by a by-stander of a CV-22 outside the AFB (
not a 'high-speed' penetration approach, just a normal approach).
There was a big complaint being voiced by the audience at the first Farnborough demo of the MV-22. People in the audience felt that 'even though it was very fast and did things they had never seen before,' it was not as impressive as the jets and helicopter demos in one important area: the biggest complaint was that compared to the load roar of the other impressive jets and helos, '
you could almost not even hear the V-22 until it was right in front of you.'
