I saw them hover at 495 just outside of Andrews AFB when I was Sb on 495 and SB on MD Rt 5.
About the same time.

I had a window seat and was able to see a V-22 Osprey fly low and slow over the railroad and Metrorail bridges and head toward the Pentagon. He was hovering and/or slowly descending there, on the Rosslyn side of the building, until I lost sight of him. I don't have the "All Area Access" badge that would have let me look into this further, so I don't know if he landed. I'm sorry, but I can't tell you what his tail number, version, and squadron number were.

He might still be at the Pentagon. I am at the library now. I believe that some of those V-22s congregate at NAS Patuxent River. I wouldn't be surprised if that's where he is from.
