The flight was smoother than I thought it would be, and I had the impression that the noise levels of the Osprey were not so high. I would like to explain my experience to the governor of Okinawa Prefecture as early as possible.

How about giving this dude Morimoto a second flight, a third flight ... or a flight a day for a month or so. Then see how he feels about the Osprey. The people of Okinawa must live with the Osprey. It will not be only one flight for them and then bye bye. It'll be there forever ...

Let's have him live directly under the flight path for a month or so, too. I suspect the noise passengers hear is much different from what people outside the plane hear.

I dont think the Osprey is any more dangerous than any other military aircraft. Which is to say NONE of them should be regularly flying over concentrated civilian populations! But I do think the Osprey is harder to fly and it only takes a pilot with a bad day to cause some serious problems.
This show flight does not prove a thing, as we all know special care and attention was paid to it that wont be part of regular Osprey flights off U.S. bases.
