Japanese media say a large part of the fuselage of a U.S. Air Force CV-22 Osprey that crashed almost a week earlier has been found with 5 crew members' bodies inside.
I was under the impression most of the crashes were early on and after they fixed issues and improved it the crash rate went to more like other aircraft. I know the marines really liked them for some reason and fought to keep the project going because at one point it was close to being canceled. Looking it up though I can’t tell.
yeah I was looking at wikipedia and im pretty sure any military crash with fatalities would make the news for any aircraft so it does still seem like a lot.

I dunno, two fatal crashes in a year doesn’t sound like a normal crash rate to me.
