An MV-22B Osprey flies over Mihail Kogalniceanu, Romania, May 25, in preparation for an aircraft integration exercise between U.S. Marines with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa and Black Sea Rotational Force.  The V-22 successfully blends the vertical flight capabilities of helicopters with the speed, range, altitude and endurance of fixed-wing transports.  (Official U.S. Marine Corps photo by Staff Sgt.
