Bad news for the Ospreys.. Saw Pax River Osprey late yesterday flying around mode s from Lakehurst back to Pax River.
Guess the early word was out...
Potus will have to do without the HMX-1 MV-22's for a while.. Maybe more regular MC/Army Helos instead?

ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The military announced late Wednesday it was grounding all of its Osprey V-22 helicopters, one week after eight Air Force Special Operations Command service members died in a crash off the coast of Japan.
The Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps took the extraordinary step of grounding hundreds of aircraft after a preliminary investigation of last week’s crash indicated that a materiel failure — that something went wrong with the aircraft — and not a mistake by the crew led to the deaths.

BUMBO-03 E-6B #163920 really had the long wire out working offshore tonight now inbound Pax River.

Now Fox news now says grounding of all CV-22's which the USAF only uses..
Wish the news would get their Pentagon facts straight...

From a Nov 17th 2023 contract...

Bell Boeing Joint Program Office, Amarillo, Texas, is awarded a $41,681,993 cost-plus-fixed-fee order (N0001924F0085) against a previously issued basic ordering agreement (N0001922G0002).
