V-22 Osprey Finally Cleared To Fly After Three Month Grounding

The crash that led to the grounding is still under investigation and returning fully to regular V-22 operations will take time.

Navair and AFSOC are being a bit secretive about it's return to service. I'd probably request to transfer to helicopters, lol.

 

[RaleighGuy]

Any idea if this will be a C-32 or VC-25 jaunt?

Betting C-32 as the big one doesn't go to ILG usually

Old 1959 Beech 35 N59MK snooping Baltimore area early this morning at 1400 feet.
No clue what they are looking for.. Cellphone signals? Stolen cars? Pirate Hams? LOL

Oh, I thought he might Air Force One into PHL then Marine One from PHL to ILG as that's only a little more than 20 miles. I defer to your estimate, though!

Looks like 19-0018 AF1 today, tomorrow 92-9000 for ATL trip departing from Philly, so most likely M1 to Philly weather permitting.

Thank you for the update It looks like the rain won't get to this area until early afternoon tomorrow - do you have a departure time to ATL tomorrow? I'd like to head up and photograph the departure.

 

[RaleighGuy]

do you have a departure time to ATL tomorrow? I'd like to head up and photograph the departure.

No, but looking like around noon, should be landing ATL about 1:45pm. I'll be working tonight probably won't be able to post official schedule until about 11pm tonight.

Thanks again - I'll keep an eye out. Joe's house is just two turns from mine, about 15 minutes away - maybe I can tag along at the back of the motorcade

Effective March 8, 2024 at 7 a.m. EST, Naval Air Systems Command issued a flight clearance for the V-22 Osprey thereby lifting the grounding. Wonder if we will see them in Philly today.
