Now that’s impressive, you don’t see an aircraft lifting anything this big every day. Unless you are in the U.S Marine Corps Combat Logistics Battalion 46. The MV-22 Osprey aircraft can switch from being an airplane to a helicopter mode on the fly which is good for picking up artillery pieces.

This is a great photo shot; U.S Marine Corps Stag Sgt.Christopher Malloy was operating the airlift on July 10, 2009, Located in Twentynine Palms, California at the Landing Zone Sandhill.
