Yesterday, Los Angeles residents were taken by surprise as they witnessed formidable military aircraft gliding through the suburban skies. This is not a common occurrence, and it’s only natural to experience a sense of wonder when encountering them. In the case of Osprey aircraft, you usually hear their distinctive noise before spotting them, as they are known for their loud engines.

These particular aircraft are MV-22 Ospreys and were seen in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Occasionally, they are employed for military training exercises and have even been used for transporting President Joe Biden in the past. The photo was originally uploaded to Reddit by a shocked user who compared it to the aircraft used in the movie The Avengers.

Speaking of cost, the MV-22 Osprey doesn’t come cheap. Each of these aircraft comes with an estimated price tag of around $84 million, making the aircraft observed by the photographer quite a costly sight.

Aside from this, there is limited information available regarding the reason for this Osprey’s flight over Los Angeles yesterday. It could have been part of training maneuvers or involved in VIP transportation. Similarly, it could have even been used for a Hollywood blockbuster! In brief, there’s no need for concern. The military sometimes operates discreetly and doesn’t always disclose its intentions. Nonetheless, it’s rare that you’ll witness Ospreys flying over Los Angeles again, at least not in the near future.
