Saw a pair of Osprey’s do a flyover of the San Fernando valley and Los Angeles about two weeks ago.
They were flying low. When they flew by Griffith Park they were lower than the mountain behind it.
They flew from the East over Glendale out over the San Fernando Valley, down the Sepulveda pass over the Wilshire area and then east just south of downtown.
I took a couple of photos. It try to be aware of military activity, and since they were so low, I viewed this as recon type effort.
More of an area familiarization flight. LA isn't a typical operating area for the boys from Mirimar.
