Why are active duty V-22 Osprey's flying over DC?

We are at war...Enemy is not at the Gates...they are inside the house...

Know what I mean?

Strange times indeed.

I hope they all cower in their Fortress DC Green Zone for 4 years.

The first comment is talking about FEMA in charge, which puts UN in charge, that's a daunting thought.

Then the last comment says something about they're presidential Ospreys. I don't think so, pretty sure the presidential ones were painted differently.

They are for show for the inauguration

Wow, saw an earlier vid that showed Ospreys that said it was from dc today but there were leaves on the trees so clearly old footage but this looks legit.

Yeah, I think not. They're too scared to even come out for the rehearsal, so doubt it.

Marines?

Exactly, I saw that one too on Twitter, but it was an embedded TikTok, but then comments popped up about it not being current, so I disregarded it. Later on tonight I got curious and did a search and found this one from today.

Transport.

Thanks, so not presidential, that says a lot I think.

No link to see comments.

IDK, I'm trying to blow it up to read logo, looked like American flag, but not sure.

Commenter on the video has no idea what they are talking about. HMX1 has ospreys. If these are dark green (can't tell on my phone) then they are HMX1 birds. To be expected in DC.

What is HMX1? What do you mean by expected to be in DC, like on a daily basis even in normal times?

AF. Special Forces. You definitely better be well seasoned to fly these babies.

Thanks..and how do I right click on my phone??

These look black or dark grey to me with a flag on the tail.

LOL< sorry, I'm usually on my laptop, but there probably is a way on your phone, I just don't know about it.

Impressive birds to say the least. Special forces, very interesting, maybe the sh/t really is going to hit the fan this weekend.

Yes.

No landing strip.

Perfect for high profile arrests at large estates.

.

This next week is going to be twitchy. And I agree. The Presidential craft are painted white, as far as I have seen. Maybe not ALL helos he may ride in, but most for transport.

Show of force for Joe Biden
(pimping our military) to demonstrate to the World that America is behind Joe
It is disgusting what these elite soy boy generals have done to our armed forces.
whole situation disgusts me
I am praying Trump doesnt leave us in this mess
but i also can accept the reality that inauguration day is coming soon and looks like it will be the fraud President

No.

There aren't many of them.

You are all wrong.

HMX-1 is the VIP squadron for the president. You are seeing ospreys operated by HMX-1. Search the net for hmx1 osprey for yourself. No other aircraft have that unique paint scheme.

400 built but many sold to other countries.

50% out of service.

I guess that would make sense since the president had some kind of meeting with Mike Lindell in the West Wing.

The only thing those birds are good for is looking cute and cool. In combat those are a freaking joke.

Just click the little blue image top left of video. Brings you to the user's channel
Click second video. Read users self comment then its replies.

Then when you're done, throw the phone in the trash because it's too complicated for you.
