USMC Invades Corona Park

The USMC performed a demonstration of their Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) at Corona Park.

V-22 rotorwash knocked the NYPD's fence down.

i LOVE how the rotor wash "killed" the fences...

Awesome shots here my friend.... Wish they would of landed at the beach, they would of had to fend off all the sunbathers.....

Dont you read your own forum?? It was posted a few weeks ago. :lol: :lol:

I saw a video preview of this on CNN on my Frontier flight earlier, but we got to the gate and they turned off the IFE before they showed the whole story. Something about a Memorial Day scare in Queens when the Osprey blew over a lot of stuff.
