Friday, June 21, 2013
DARE COUNTY, N.C.

The vertical takeoff and landing aircraft made a routine landing, but engine exhaust apparently started a brush fire.

No one was hurt and the aircraft was only slightly damaged.

The Osprey is a new aircraft with a tilt wing that allows the plane to achieve higher speeds than conventional helicopters.
