    USMC Invades Corona Park

    The USMC performed a demonstration of their Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) at Corona Park.

    V-22 rotorwash knocked the NYPD's fence down.

    i LOVE how the rotor wash "killed" the fences...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    I saw a video preview of this on CNN on my Frontier flight earlier, but we got to the gate and they turned off the IFE before they showed the whole story. Something about a Memorial Day scare in Queens when the Osprey blew over a lot of stuff.
