It wasn't pilot error. Ospreys have a terrible record of mechanical failure and crashes. Japan is being proactive, as the U.S. should have been years ago. This aviation platform is too risky to keep in the skies.
In August 2022, an Air Force commander said they would ground all 52 of its CV-22 Ospreys due to safety incidents involving the aircraft's clutch. And in February, the Marine Corps announced that it would restrict flight on a subset of V-22s until they could fix part of the clutch.
seems odd to me. ban a type of aircraft because a pilot error? its not like ospreys have a tendency to drop out of the skies.
tricky to fly tho 😅
