SAS, 212

The V22 had the range and speed for the escort fighters to escort it out.

One more thing it did three things a Canadian H92 can not do:

Fly at night

Fly over water

Land on a ship

And seeing that 50% of the Sikorsky products crashed before the action started the Osprey was the best choice to actually complete the mission.
