I have worked them in a numerous countries.

Scary planes.

Is it true that the Osprey is the only military transport in the US inventory that POTUS is not permitted to travel in ?

Could be an urban myth, but I would not be surprised if it is legit.

I'd ride in any US military aircraft except one... a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey.
