Bell V-22 Osprey (16-8327)
This snap of the USMC's MV-22B Osprey 168327, the first picture of this Marine Corps Presidential Osprey to be posted into FA's photo gallery, was taken in 2016 and shows it as part of a multi-rotorbird flight escorting then-President Obama as he returned to Reno-Tahoe International after a visit to Lake Tahoe.
Comments
There were five rotorbirds in the flight ... three Ospreys and two Whitehawks. The POTUS was in one of the Whitehawks.
Did something change where the POTUS was allowed to fly in one of these?

No change in policy that I am aware of, EK. Perhaps some other viewer knows if the policy has changed, but as far as I've heard, POTUS still cannot be transported in one of these.
5 tilt's on this - color supreme!
