Gangly Birds in the Sky

A benefit of working in the Tower II building is having a window cube overlooking Ellington Field. There are quite a few aviation fans on the floor and yesterday afternoon someone pointed out these new birds coming in for a landing. This is the first time I've seen a Osprey in real life but two of them came in to refuel. Here's a zoom in from the picture I snapped while the first was cruising along the runway, sorry for the distance but its a big airfield. Gotta say they looked pretty cool though.
