[MilCom] Black Osprey

[N1BHH]

HMX-1 has a few V-22's and they are painted the usual White over Green.
They are called "white tops". They were first used by them for VIP
transport last year to take the family dog to the Vineyard along with a bag
of basketballs. The black Osprey may be attached to another agency
altogether.
