I was very lucky to get the chance to fly on a military aircraft this week. I was even more lucky to get to fly on an aircraft that doubles as a helicopter! The CV-22 Osprey is a tiltrotor aircraft that combines the vertical takeoff, hover and vertical landing qualities of a helicopter with the long-range, fuel efficiency and speed characteristics of a turboprop aircraft. So basically it can take off and hover like a helicopter, but can fly further and go faster than a helicopter, like a plane.
And, to top it off, I got to experience it with my best friend, Christina.
The only thing that was missing was our hubbies, but hey! They gets to do cool things without us sometimes!

{Having the time of my life!}
This was seriously one of the coolest things I have ever done!
2 sweet thoughts:
hey that is pretty awesome!
and this is totally random and off topic but do you watch One Life to Live? you and Hannah on there could be sisters I swear every time I see her I think of you (for the looks not the crazies cause she is crazy)
If you don't; watch it tomorrow and tell me what you think:)
That looks scary and fun all at once! Glad you had fun!
