Osprey Aircraft?

Did anyone else see an unusual aircraft, an Osprey, flying pretty low over Mt. Pleasant and heading toward Columbia Heights around 5:20 this afternoon?

I saw it too. There have been several odd aircraft over DC this past week for military funerals at Arlington Cemetary. Saw a stealth bomber a few days ago over Rosslyn which I believe was scheduled for an Air Force Officer's funeral.

  Makes sense. I hope I see some more of them. I don't like the triumphalist military machinery but, damn, it's cool to see them. A stealth bomber flew over the city when Bush was inaugurated for the second time and it gave me a Death Star shudder/thrill.

I saw it land at the Pentagon while driving down 110 on my way back to DC. It was a cool site to see as my dad was quite involved in the original proof of concept for the Osprey (the XV-15). No idea why Mt. Pleasant was in the fligh path.
