Here come the Thunder Chickens

Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263, nicknamed ``The Thunder Chickens,'' will be based at the Al Asad Airbase in western Iraq for at least seven months of combat operations. The Marine Corps Ospreys, known as MV-22s, will be used to ferry Marines as well as cargo throughout predominately Sunni Muslim Anbar province.
Seeing as how we spent all that money developing them, we might as well see if they work. Let's just hope they don't kill too many Marines.

The Thunder Chickens? Must be talking about how well they fly. They fly like a chicken. Or a penguin :-(.
