US aircraft makes spectacular dust cloud landing in Brisbane

One of America's Top Guns made a spectacular arrival in Australia on Tuesday right next to one of Brisbane's busiest roads.

Shocked motorists watched on as the Boeing V22 Osprey came in the land, kicking up thick, plumes of brown dust.

The smoke travelled over six lanes of traffic, causing many motorists to stop and wait for the air to clear.

Keen plane spotter Rhianna Patrick told ABC Radio National it was a spectacular sight: "We all know these aircraft purely through cinema, through news, they are like the celebrities of the aviation world."

The US military has employed the services of two Osprey's and two Sea King helicopters to transport President Barack Obama and his staff during the G20 summit. Both aircrafts come in pairs in case of a malfunction.

Most world leaders are expected to arrive in Brisbane on Thursday and Friday, but President Obama is due to touch down in Air Force One on Saturday.
