V-22 Osprey VTOL Fly-Over in the Mojave Desert

This was shot from Butterbredt Peak in Jawbone Canyon in May 2006. A V-22 Osprey VTOL (Vertical Take-OFF / Landing) aircraft happened to fly fairly low overhead at full cruising speed while on routine practice flights. It might not be so impressive on the video it was pretty cool in person. The plane had already made several passes earlier and the pilot was apparently using the peak as a navigation point.
