Bergung einer Osprey in Norwegen nach einer Notlandung (mit interessanter Bilderserie, Artikel ist von vor vier Tagen)...
Zitat:NACH NOTLANDUNG IM NATURPARK

V-22 Osprey kriecht im Schneckentempo übern Holzweg

Eine V-22 Osprey der US Air Force musste Mitte August auf einer norwegischen Insel notlanden – mitten im Naturschutzgebiet. Die Bergung war komplex, doch die Norweger erfinderisch. Sie zogen die Osprey über Holzbohlen ans Wasser. [...] Der große Aufwand wurde belohnt: Die V-22 Osprey, die am 12. August nach einer Havarie auf der norwegischen Insel Senja mitten im Naturpark notgelandet war, ist wieder "frei".

Nach dem neuerlichen Crash einer V-22 am vergangenen Mittwoch nahe der Insel Yakushima - immerhin der vierte Absturz in eineinhalb Jahren - regt sich gewisse Unruhe:
Zitat:Japanese Officials Raise Concerns Over V-22 Osprey Flights

Top Japanese government officials have expressed concern that the United States is not providing sufficient information regarding the ongoing flights of U.S. Ospreys in Japan following Wednesday’s crash of an Air Force Special Operations (AFSOC) CV-22 in the waters of Yakushima Island. Meanwhile, the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group (CSG) wrapped up drills with a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer on Thursday.

On Friday, during his daily morning press conference, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno stated that, despite requests by the Japanese government, there has not been sufficient explanation by the United States regarding the safety of the Osprey helicopters and flight operations. “We have concerns about what is going on,” Matsuno stated. Matsuno reiterated that the Japanese government had sent an official notification to the U.S. government asking to halt Osprey flights in Japan save for search-and-rescue (SAR) operations until the U.S. can confirm the safety of the aircraft. [...]

Japan grounded its 14 V-22Bs Ospreys operated by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) following Wednesday’s accident. A planned capability demonstration at Saga Airport, Kyushu, over the weekend has been canceled because of local concerns, stated Kihara in a Thursday press conference following his meeting with Rupp. The JGSDF plans to deploy its V-22Bs at Saga Airport in 2025 as part of Japan’s plans to strengthen the defense of its southwest islands. A total of 17 V-22Bs were ordered by Japan in 2015 with three more to be delivered.
