U.K. Lance Cpl. Mark Waddingham and other soldiers with the 664 Squadron of the U.K.'s Army Air Corps take a ride on a United States Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 365, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward). The U.K. soldiers were invited to the squadron to see how the U.S. aviation crews work. It was one of several visits as both country's aviation service members visited each others' squadrons. Both services were amazed at the similarities in operations and squadron layouts. However, the 664 Squadron soldiers learned something about the Marines’ Ospreys. The soldiers are familiar with agile aircraft because they work with AH-64D Apache light attack helicopters over on the other side of the flight line. However, the smiles seemed almost permanent as the soldiers finished their ride on the much-larger Osprey, boasting how impressed they were with the aircraft's capability to pull off roller coaster-like moves.
