I live near a base and am basically in there weekend warrior spot. Usually hear the sounds of loud booms of whatever weapons they are playing with. I'm near the home of the 101st Airborne. Ft. Campbell Kentucky. Go Airborne!!!! Haven't heard much lately but am in their flight path also so I see a lot of helicopters and other air vehicles flying overhead.
"Am near an AF base, if that matters"
Well, yes it does, if you're attempting to alert us of something out of the ordinary.
(Then again, any formation of six Ospreys managing to all stay aloft might be considered out of the ordinary.)
V22 has proven to be one of the most dependable aircraft in the fleet. Do you work for Sikorski or Chaney or Time, by chance?
It only took 'em fifteen years and 53 lives to work out the kinks. Given that only 400 have been built, that's not a good record.
Twin-engine VTOL is inherently unstable -- you lose one prop, you're fucked hard. (Not saying there's a better way to do it, but it is what it is.)
Yeah, that's why it seemed odd. Never seen them fly over.

They are magnificent beasts.
They are the opposite of stealth mode. Huge targets. Awesome, but 5 cargo helicopters are quieter.
just had them fly over in formation just now too. Im in NC
Well it's Spring time. If they're heading north they could be migrating.

Flock?
Damnit, I still haven't seen one in person. They rolled them out after I got out.
I'm out near Lilburn on the east side all quiet here.
Nothing showing on adsb.exchange
Do you hear any random quacks, or were the planes painted purple and green?
Nothing over GA on flight tracker
I saw them before i heard them. The entire house rattled. Perfect V. They seem to defy logic.
We have helicopters fly over occasionally but never these, No photo; I was on the 2nd floor and phone was downstairs.
Oh I’m not doubting you, just saying they are flying without signaling their location.
