Col. Chris “Mongo” Seymour, USMC (Ret.) had a military career spanning decades which included being one of the early test pilots of the V-22 in the late 1990s, flying the US Marine Corps variant of the V-22 (MV-22) into its first combat deployment in Iraq (2008), before officially retiring from service in 2013.
This past July, Mongo was given the opportunity to test fly a new production MV-22 and was eager to step back into the cockpit. “When I got the opportunity, it was like a dream come true. I mean, it’s like winning the lottery,” Mongo exclaimed. “But flying the MV-22 to the Marine Corps was just way too cool to pass up.”

As part of Bell's Aviation History Month series, we're exploring the innovations that continue to shape the future of flight. This week, we look at how Bell's rotor blade technology has evolved and how today's advances in composites, manufacturing, and engineering expertise are helping define the next era of vertical lift.
“With the materials and engineering talent that we have at Bell today, there’s so many opportunities to keep improving on how our rotor blades perform. As technology continues to evolve, I think we’re only beginning to see what’s possible,” said Horst.
