Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey 168689 appeared in recorded positions near Waldron, Michigan, on June 26, 2026. The aircraft database identifies it as an Osprey, a tiltrotor whose defining feature is a pair of wingtip nacelles, each carrying an engine and proprotor.
The Osprey grew from decades of tiltrotor experiments. Plane Alert DB includes 168689 in its Distinctive aircraft category, but the list entry does not show who was aboard. The V-22 family includes service-specific versions, so details of one variant should not be applied to every Osprey.
