December 17: The MV-22 Osprey has arrived on the western seaboard of the US at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar in California, the first unit to re-equip with the new tilt-rotor aircraft being Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 161.

“We are all very excited and pleased to have it here and to begin training on it,” said Lt. Colonel Jason T Keefer, the squadron’s executive officer. VMM-161 has retired its ageing CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter and will receive 12 Ospreys over the next few months. Three other CH-146 units at Miramar are expected to convert to the Osprey eventually.[/quote][/quote]
