Two KC-130J tankers from Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252 (VMGR-252) at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, gave a pair of US Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft three aerial refuelings 10 July as the Osprey journeyed to the 2006 Farnborough Airshow. It was the Osprey's first transatlantic journey. The two MCAS New River, North Carolina-based MV-22s and the two KC-130J crews flew from Goose Bay, Newfoundland, directly to the United Kingdom. The aerial refuelings marked the first time in more than twenty years KC-130 crews supported a transatlantic deployment.
