The osprey is an exceptional plane. loved the concept from day one. it defies logic (to me) i guess.
Although I've seen some civilian concept of similar designs, isn't this a/c itself viable for the integration into every mans land?
I guess it could provide excellent service into let's say, remote areas such as where float planes are needed. helo ops only needed.
After watching this excellent show on TV on bush pilots in Alaska, I'd say the Osprey would have a very good market there.
Moving the heavy cargo and causing further development of the area.
Such as what the "train" did in the early days !
