On Friday Aug 5th I was told that the Osprey squadron was going to put 25 of 27 in the air . As I left Jacksonville that morning I don't know if it came about or not. SF

That was a no go, will try again soon....from a pilot in the unit.

Wonder why no Ospreys are involved in the New Orleans effort?

It's not for the lack of wanting to help from the unit....the powers that be haven't given them the final ok for operational status is my understanding....say this where to happen next year - quite sure they would be there.

I just responded on this question on another thread. The Marine Corps offered; we were stiff-armed by the nincompoops at FEMA.
