V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor begins aerial refueling tests

Article Abstract:

Two one-hour aerial refueling flights with the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft were conducted where the test pilots logged five "dry plugs" behind a Marine Corps KC-130F tanker and demonstrated the aerial refueling capacity of the aircraft developed by Bell Helicopter Textron and The Boeing Co. for the Marine Corps, Air Force and Navy. The Osprey program that was put on hold after two crashes in 2000, underwent a 18-month review and restructuring and the new test program aims to have six pilots qualified to tank in daylight and at night with the aid of night-vision goggles.
