Flight of the V22 Osprey:

Perhaps the most controversial weapon in U.S. history, the V-22 can carry troops three times as far, twice as fast and has six to seven times more survivability than the CH-46 widely used now in Iraq, according to the military.

I'm looking forward to Flight of the V-22 Osprey. The Osprey's an amazing aircraft that has been in development for over 25 years. It can perform long-range high-speed missions reserved for traditional prop aircraft, but can also perform like a helicopter with its vertical take-off capabilities. It's an amazing sight to finally see it in action.

Don't Miss Flight of the V-22 Osprey on Monday, April 7 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
