V22 Osprey discussion thread Mk II

[Ian Corrigible]

Various updates:

• The Israeli V-22 buy is on hold for now, due to budget constraints

• Bell believes Japan will order Ospreys in early 2015, becoming the second customer (or maybe the first, given the above...)

• Aerospace Daily reports that Bell's V-22 testbed aircraft has been seen flying over Fort Worth equipped with a 2.75-in. rocket pod fitted on the port side of the forward fuselage, the munition in question believed to be APKWS
