Flight of the V-22 Osprey

It flies like a plane and lands like a helicopter. After more than two decades in development and coming in at $20 billion over budget, the V-22 Osprey heads to Iraq to enter combat for the first time. Veteran filmmaker and war correspondent Richard Mackenzie travels with a U.S. Marine Corps squadron to document this historic exercise and Osprey's maiden missions.
Through exclusive access to the squadron and the aircraft, go behind closed doors into secret planning sessions. Then, join the pilots in the cockpit and fly with infantry assault teams on Osprey's missions to the distant and desolate deserts of Iraq. The V-22 Osprey can carry troops three times as far and go twice as fast as previous aircraft, but will it live up to high expectations as the replacement to an antiquated helicopter fleet? Find out if the Osprey is ready for the harsh realities of the battlefield.
