U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Ariel Solis, right, a tiltrotor airframe mechanic and a Texas native, and Lance Cpl. Evan Cooper, a tiltrotor mechanic and Mississippi native, both assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 165 (Reinforced), 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, perform maintenance on a MV-22B Osprey at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California, March 20, 2024. The Marine Corps returned its MV-22s, including the 15th MEU’s, to flight status on March 8, 2024, following Naval Air Systems Command’s announcement that deemed the aircraft safe to fly. The Marine Corps’ three-phased approach begins with a focus on regaining basic flight currency, rebuilding unit instructor cadres, and achieving proficiency in core and basic skill training for pilots and aircrew.
