Cause of, and Solution to Unspecified Problem Supposedly Solved
The pause that followed the fatal crash of a US Air Force Osprey in the sea near Japan has ended, with flights resuming for all branches operating the V-22. During the pause, Osprey crews reportedly underwent necessary maintenance and training, blaming the fatal crash on an "unprecedented" but unspecified part failure. That crash killed 8 servicemen in November of 2023, continuing a distressing streak of Osprey fatalities. "This decision follows a meticulous and data-driven approach prioritizing the safety of our aircrews," a Navy official said. The return to service okays the V-22 for flight with every branch, from the Navy and the Marines to the Air Force itself.
