The U.S. military will allow its fleet of V-22 Ospreys to fly again, three months after it grounded the entire inventory of more than 400 aircraft following a fatal crash off the coast of Japan in November.
The Marine Corps, Air Force and Navy will immediately start refreshing troops’ training and changing maintenance procedures as prerequisites for resuming normal operations, leaders from each of the services told reporters Wednesday.
But they acknowledged it will be months before the tiltrotor aircraft are fully back to flying real-world missions.
The Ospreys will receive no equipment modifications before they return to the air.
