U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 165 (Reinforced), 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, observe as an MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft assigned to VMM-165 (Rein.) taxis out of the line at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California, March 12, 2024, marking the first operational flight of a I Marine Expeditionary Force MV-22 since the tiltrotor aircraft’s return to flight. The Marine Corps returned its MV-22s to flight status on March 8, 2024, following Naval Air Systems Command’s (NAVAIR) announcement that deemed the aircraft safe to fly. The Marine Corps’ three-phased approach begins with a focus on regaining basic flight currency, rebuilding units instructor cadres, and achieving proficiency in Core and Basic skill training for pilots and aircrew.
