ANO, WP, TH

OO-RAH!!
WASHINGTON, April 13, 2007 – A Marine aircraft with dual personalities — part airplane, part helicopter — will soon buzz and hover above Iraq’s deserts, providing assault and medical support.

Marine Commandant Gen. James Conway announced at the Pentagon this morning that the MV-22 Osprey aircraft will make its combat debut in Iraq this September, when Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263, with 10 Ospreys and 171 personnel, deploys to Al Asad Air Base.
