Resumption of Osprey Aircraft Flights in Japan

The U.S. and Japanese militaries are resuming flights of Osprey aircraft in Japan after completing necessary maintenance and training following a fatal crash in November. The crash was caused by a part problem, not a faulty Osprey design. Safety measures have been added to prevent similar incidents.

Pentagon lifting ban on V-22 Osprey flights

The Osprey has been grounded for almost three months following crashes in Japan and Australia that are still under investigation.
