During a recent motor trip through northwest Texas, I attempted arrangements to visit the V-22 assembly plant in Amarillo, TX. Was informed during my telcon with the senior Marine at the plant - "Sorry, no visitors, Active Duty, Official Buiness Only!"
A real great way to promote the Marine Corps newest top secret flying machine.

Apparently Larry, the only thing TS about the Osprey is all the engine problems their having and not reporting to the public.
