#1 USMC Executive Flight Detachment at Quantico uses the Osprey for WH cargo hauling. Unless something has changed, I don't believe they are used for the transport of staff or security.

Japan grounded the Osprey last week. Don't know if the grounding has been lifted or not.

OBTW, I'm still waiting for the first JAB related mitochondrial casualty at the WH or Capital Hill. Some tough hombres. Only thing that takes'em down is old age.

#2 I live under the Miramar-to-Yuma USMC flight pattern with Ospreys. Hate em.

#3 the first JAB related mitochondrial casualty at the WH

I expect they got a JAB of a different color.

#4 @#1 - Still used for PPD QRF. I assume those are HMX-1 birds.
