Philippine Air Force Sgt. Bobby Elepedes, a landing support specialist with the 520th Air Base Wing, uses hand signals to direct the MV-22B Osprey pilot during landing during Operation Damayan at Villamor Air Base Nov. 14. Typhoon Haiyan has affected over 4.2 million people across 36 provinces in the Philippines, according to the Philippine government’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. The Osprey provides a unique capability in this type of operation due to its vertical takeoff and landing capabilities and its ability to convert quickly to fixed wing configuration, giving it increased speed and range.
