The MV-22 Osprey making her first combat flights. That is one impressive bird. I love it, don't want to fly in anything else now, i'm spoiled.
A close second to the Osprey is the amazing MRAP! This one known as the Cougar. These things save lives, no doubt about it. We have one here that has been through an IED hit, besides the holes through the sheetmetal fenders and an impact to the bullet proof glass all it needed was a new tire and it was back on the road with NO INJURIES to the occupants! As much as I love the HMMWV's, they must go, get more MRAPs! They still have that new "Armored Vehicle Smell"!
