Well, the Osprey isn't the only Tiltrotor these days, there's a few other models being developed, including one purely for the civilian market, I saw a video of the ground test of the unit, but I forget who's making it.

Oooh, I like that.

I once spent a night drinking with bloke who had flown choppers to North Sea oil rigs.  He told me it was, in his opinion safer than flying into Berlin during the cold war.

Having once flown onto a North Sea oil rig in an S-61L I'm not sure about that! It was VERY scary descending onto an invisible landing pad. I'm glad I only had to do it once!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Agusta/Westland AW609, they had one (possibly a mockup?) at Heli Expo in 2015 in partial Bristow colours who have 10 on order for oil rig ops.

Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for!!!

We took an S-76 back to shore ( 300kms ) one time and it was like a sports car compared to the S-61 ! It was a Friday night to boot  :thumbsup:

Ouch! Another weird aircraft.
Googling to check if F-104X was a real project, I found this other interpretation:

Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.
