Osprey makes hard landing in Nevada

An MV-22B Osprey from Miramar Marine Corps Air Station made a “hard landing” Monday afternoon during a training flight in Nevada, a Marine official said.

All four people in the air crew walked away from the aircraft, which was damaged enough that it could not fly afterward, said Maj. Carl Redding, a spokesman at Miramar.

The accident happened just after 3:30 p.m. near Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs, Nev.

The incident is currently under investigation, the Marine Corps said.

I've heard the same BuNo but from a unconfirmed source. I guess time will tell for sure.

I think folks would like more data other then writing in capital letters.

So here it is confirmed from the Naval Safety Center at the following link last page: http://www.public.navy.mil/navsafecen/D ... maries.pdf

168241 VMM-163 it is. Glad everyone got out safely.

Cheers,

Tally.
