Philippine Air Force Sgt. Dons Geronimo (left) and Philippine Air Force Staff Sgt. Melchur B. Ajas use hand signals to direct an MV-22B Osprey during Operation Damayan at Villamor Air Base Nov. 14. 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. 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.
