"Chilly Willy" was a part of a cold weather testing program for the Osprey. It was reported that on Nov. 2004 in Nova Scotia, there was an icing incident where a substantial amount of one of the prop-rotor blades was lost during a routine icing test flight; the aircraft made a safe landing. Not much on it's life since then, but it now sets in a parking lot just outside of the '711th Human Performance Wing Headquarters', at the intersection of National Rd. and McClellan Dr.
