Beautiful moody picture of V-22's; thank you for sharing that one.  Any idea of the location?

That one with the opened-up panels in the upper nacelle shows just how packed that area is.

I'm guessing Afghanistan just because the photographer has other pictures from Afghanistan, however this one is not specified  :icon_crap:

The location has been verified as Afghanistan by the V-22 Program Manager who is a retired USMC V-22 pilot and served over there.  Those walls are known as "Texas barriers" and are to prevent sympathetic damage if one of them gets hit.

Very nice! Viscount c/n 274 was a bit luckless. Within two years of that photo, she was withdrawn from service.

Here is the 'after' shot  :P
