Five Survive Osprey Crash
Posted: 06-18-2012, 05:10 PM

All five aboard survived the crash of an Air Force CV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor during a Wednesday evening gunnery training run in the Elgin Range over the Florida panhandle. Initial details were provided by the 1st Special Operations Wing to which the aircraft was assigned. The crash aircraft had been trailing a lead Osprey that initiated search and rescue when it reversed course and found the second aircraft was no longer in trail. The crashed tilt-rotor was found inverted with significant damage. A post-crash fire did not consume the aircraft. The crash led the wing to stand down operations for a day.
