Soldiers with the United Kingdom's 664 Squadron of the Army Air Corps take a wild ride on a United States Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 365, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward). The U.K. soldiers were invited to the squadron to see how the U.S. aviation crews work. It was one of several visits as both country's aviation service members visited each others' squadrons to VMM-365 used this orientation flight to familiarize the U.K. soldiers with the Osprey's aerial prowess. The 664 Squadron soldiers are familiar with agile aircraft - they work with AH-64D Apache light attack helicopters. However, the smiles seemed almost permanent as the soldiers left the much-larger Osprey impressed with the aircraft's capability to pull off roller coaster-like moves.
