About 10 grand per hour per sources I’ve found.

But it's GOOD to know...

From the article, TWO ospreys were used.

TWO ospreys cost just under $176 MILLIONS. Hourly cost for TWO ospreys, $22,000. FLight time, figure 1 hour, round trip for TWO ospreys: $88,000.

Was the second Osprey for Bo's food, water dishes (for a water dog), toys, and its comfy cushion?
