Well, OK, BUT only if it goes in in Navy markings since the Air Force is still a very long way from getting their first one-

The Air Force is using them in the Special Forces. There are a bunch based at Hurlburt.

USAF examples have been seen around here...far away from any SOF base, so they do get around.
One pre production example is at the helicopter Museum in Westchester, PA. It's been there for years. So far, its the only one I've seen.

The first Osprey arrived at Hurlburt in 2007, which is good since the MH-53 fleet was retired in Sep 2008.
