A Marine V-22 Osprey was practicing takeoffs and landings.
In case you aren't sure what an Osprey is, it's one of those really big tiltrotor aircraft. Basically, it takes off like a giant helicopter and then it's rotors tilt forward and it flies like an airplane.
It looks like this...
While walking in, I managed to get a few seconds of video of it.

It took off several times and flew around then landed. I called my mom to tell her to check it out, and she called back and said it flew pretty much right over her house.
I've seen a few cool planes at the airport...including some P-51 Mustang WWII fighter planes, and a P-38 Lightning WWII fighter...and this Osprey ranks right up there with those as one of the coolest.
