    Default Saw something this weekend in Glenwood

    The wife and I snuck away for a couple of days, and while we were relaxing at the hot springs pool, I saw something I have never actually seen in real life before: A pair of V-22 Ospreys flying formation, very low over the mountain. They executed a turn basically right above us, and disappeared behind the ridgeline. Anyone know where they were flying out of?

    I have seen them along w/ KC130 in the grand junction area. I think they do low level flying training in western Colorado.

    I was in Vail over the weekend and I'm pretty sure I saw those same ones.

    Training. I have a friend who is a MH-53 pilot and he's been to CO several times for high-altitude mountainous terrain flights. Lot's of good comparisons here to the 'Stan terrain speaking.
