My wife and I have seen them a few times at the Air Force Memorial here in Arlington, Va. They're really and good and she does have a great voice. I think she was on American Idol, but quit to join the Air Force.
Makes me want to come out of retirement. Thanks for sharing!

Hmmm,
Just got this off of wikipedia:
"The United States Marine Corps began crew training for the Osprey in 2000, and fielded it in 2007; it supplemented and then replaced their Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knights. The Osprey's other operator, the U.S. Air Force, fielded their version of the tiltrotor in 2009. Since entering service with the U.S. Marine Corps and Air Force, the Osprey has been deployed in transportation and medevac operations over Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Kuwait."

We have two brand new Air Force Academy Cadets at our house right now (Just guys sorry!). We are going to feed them a good dinner and take them back to the Academy. We live across the valley from the USAFA so we sponsor cadets. Just doing my part to make America Great Again.

Yeah 69a100
Some one could have "Bet" me 1 hundred dollars, I would have LOST!
I had No Clue
In fact, like you, I was truly under the impression that:
1. Marines bought it
2. Air Force "backed out" of the deal
I'm STIL skeptical, aren't you?
Where are they stationed?
hmmm, very interesting

Okay,
as of 2016:
Air Force special Ops page:
Features
This versatile, self-deployable aircraft offers increased speed and range over other rotary-wing aircraft, enabling Air Force Special Operations Command aircrews to execute long-range special operations missions. The CV-22 can perform missions that normally would require both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. The CV-22 takes off vertically and, once airborne, the nacelles (engine and prop-rotor group) on each wing can rotate into a forward position.
The CV-22 is equipped with integrated threat countermeasures, terrain-following radar, forward-looking infrared sensor and other advanced avionics systems that allow it to operate at low altitude in adverse weather conditions and medium- to high-threat environments.
Background
The CV-22 is the Special Operation Forces variant of the U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey. The first two test aircraft were delivered to Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., in September 2000. The 58th Special Operations Wing at Kirtland AFB, N.M., began CV-22 aircrew training with the first two production aircraft in August 2006.
BUT: still in AF inventory?
