    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is captured during a landing or takeoff in an open field. The rotorwash is kicking up significant dust, debris, and vegetation from the ground. The image appears to be taken through a dirty or debris-covered transparent surface, likely a window or windshield of another vehicle.

    An MV-22 Osprey with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 365 kicks up a dirt storm during a confined area landing at a dirt landing zone in Belize Saturday. In combat theaters, it is necessary to land at unimproved landing zones like this one in order to take Marines and their supplies to wherever they are needed on the battlefield. Practicing in the jungles of Belize is valuable training for the pilots for later battlefield missions.
