Heads up for anyone in the area:
On July 6, 2012 VMM-561 deactivated and the MV-22 aircraft, which belonged to the squadron, were shipped to Okinawa, Japan.
Id'd these from photo's,

PH01/168217
PH02/
PH03/168223
PH04/168221
PH05/168224
PH06/168027
PH07/168028
PH08/168031
PH09/168032
PH11/168218

No doubt PH00 and PH10 are onboard as well.

PH09/168032
PH11/168218

No doubt PH00, 05 and 10 are onboard as well.
As per the USMC Aviation road map released in September 2010,but the latest defense cuts killed VMM-561 'Pale Horses' and halted the standing up of VMM-562.

HMM-262 and HMM-265 (then to re-designate to VMM-262 and '265) will be the recipants of thesy Ospreys.Not sure which unit first,but the second unit is/was scheduled to receive their Ospreys on/by 01st October 2013.

Recently the Japanese government withheld permission for the MV-22s to be based in Japan,but in light of this shipment,this has assumably been rescinded?.

Excellent reports as always but can you confirm the BuNo for WH05 please as 164550 was written off in 1997.

Regards and thanks
