Melania Trump Makes First Lady History With Ride In A V-22 Osprey





CNN: Melania Trump makes historic Osprey flight to visit US military

(CNN)Melania Trump spent part of Wednesday flying over areas of Virginia and the Atlantic Ocean in a V-22 Osprey, becoming the first first lady to do so.

The Osprey is a massive military flight machine that can fly longer ranges like a plane while also having the ability to land and take off like a helicopter, a maneuver that came in handy when Trump paid a visit to the USS George H.W. Bush, the Navy's 1,092-foot long warship, which is powered by two nuclear reactors.

rump's appearance on the aircraft carrier was the last of three military-themed events in which the first lady took part in the span of about five hours, first to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, outside of Washington, where she boarded the V-22, and then on to Joint Base Langley-Eustis, in Hampton, Virginia, for a tour and a meet-and-greet with military families.

"When preparing for this stop, I learned that this base is more than 100 years old, and has a long history of excellence," said Trump in prepared remarks to the approximately 600 servicemembers at Langley-Eustis.
