Title and text seems a bit misleading as V-22 formal carrier landings were done during aircraft testing phase at least as early as 1999, if not before. This documentation was actually the sea trials of the carrier, not the Osprey.

The pictures are beautiful, though.

Yes, I remember seeing pictures of at least one early V-22 on a CV/CVN. Can't remember which tho.

CarQuals are different than the carrier evaluation trials that are conducted during an aircraft's development phase.

I'd like to know whether these were straight vertical landings and take-offs, or whether they mixed in the rolling (STOL) ones people think will be necessary to give the V-22 the range and load-carrying to compete with the C-2 as a COD platform.
