Bell-Boeing V-22B Osprey

The heavy-lift version of the original model, this is the most common Osprey on Earth. It has been manufactured by license, all over the world and has acquired a reputation for steadfast service under appalling conditions, joining the legends of the C-47 "Gooney Bird" and the C-130 "Herky Bird." Because of its tilt-rotors, the Osprey's nickname is "Whirly Bird."

Special Equipment

Notes: There is a gunship version of the Osprey known as the Guillotine. This model sacrifices cargo and passenger space for armament (three 20mm Gatlings, two 40mm Auto-GIs, and one 75mm cannon, all on port-side articulated mounts. All weapons carry 10 magazines. A laser rangefinder, image enhancement, and thermograph are fitted to assist firing, and the plane is fitted with ECM, flare and chaff dispensers to enhance survivability).
