Navy’s first East Coast-based Osprey arrives at Norfolk
By Jonathan Lehrfeld
 Apr 10, 05:05 AM
 
The first Navy CMV-22B Osprey aircraft assigned to the East Coast arrived at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, on Friday, following a months-long, military-wide safety stand down.

The Osprey, which lifts off like a helicopter and flies like an airplane, is assigned to Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron 40.


It will provide long-range logistics support for aircraft carriers, and are slated to replace the aging C-2A Greyhound fleet in the coming years.

“This first aircraft’s arrival symbolizes an evolution and change in Naval Aviation as we look toward the future,” Rear Adm. Doug Verissimo, the commander of Naval Air Force Atlantic, said in a statement.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

You have to believe the climate of the east coast is such they are less likely to crash! :whistle:
