A special missions aviator from the 8th Special Operations Squadron at Hurlburt Field mans the .50 caliber machine gun on a CV-22 Osprey Nov. 17, 2016 over Northwest Florida's gulf coast. The Osprey combines the vertical takeoff, landing and hover capabilities of a helicopter with the long-range, fuel efficient and speed characteristics of a turboprop aircraft.
