Hoss, those are Ospreys. We had 6 of them setting at our ramp a few weeks back. That is the first time I had ever seen them. We did a little research on them and there were only around 400 made and they had a lot of failures early on. One of them was broke here and required parts to be sent in so they could get it out of here. I'll post some pics later.
