Synopsis:

The Bell-Boeing CV-22C Osprey is a new transport variant for the US Navy. The company demonstrator can be seen here on take-off trials from USS Harry Truman (CVN-75) in June 2015.


Elaboration:

The tough part in this picture was not to create the CV-22C from the regular version (see photo below right for original piicture)... it was coming up with a complete picture of the aircraft-carrier's tower! I had to rework it from several pictures...
