The U.S. Marines, as part of a Memorial Day weekend celebration, landed an Osprey at Rye Playland on Sunday. Watch the Osprey come in for a landing with a Rye PD police boat in the immediate foreground.

According to Wikipedia “The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.”
