Never been here before, so I snuck over between the morning and afternoon launches at El Centro. Was very lucky because there was a Cobra on the ramp that took off not even 10 minutes after I got there.

LOG 12 September 2022:
Before visiting El Centro we passed this airport and saw parked:
166486 YT-14 V-22 MV-22B VMM-164
It looked like a broken down aircraft to us.
Indeed, when moving to Yuma during noon, another Osprey came in with a tech crew:
166493 YT-12 V-22 MV-22B VMM-164
we missed a CH-53 who overflew El Centro inbound to Imperial with callsign THUNDER11.
