My heart breaks for these families.

Air Force Special Operations Command has released the following update to the aircraft mishap:
 
AFSOC Aircraft Mishap - UPDATE 6 - released 0507CST
 
Today, the combined Japanese and United States teams working diligently in the search for the CV-22 mishap aircraft near Yakushima, Japan, on November 29, 2023, had a breakthrough when their surface ships and dive teams were able to locate remains, along with the main fuselage of the aircraft wreckage. The dive teams were able to confirm five additional crew members from the original crew of eight that were involved in the mishap. Hours after the aircraft disappeared, Japanese first responders located and recovered the first known casualty from the mishap.
 
Currently, two crew members of the five located today have been successfully recovered by the attending teams. There is an ongoing combined effort to recover the remaining crew members from the wreckage. The identities of the members located today have yet to be determined and will be released at a later date.
 
The coalition of military, coast guard, law enforcement, mariners, and local volunteers remain steadfast in locating and bringing the US Service Members back to their units and their families. The military has also turned to dispatching professional support for the care of the families. As efforts persist for the location and recovery of the entire crew, the privacy of the families and loved ones impacted by this tragic incident remains a great concern.
 
Further information on the recovery and details of the search progress will be released as it becomes available. Additional inquiries and questions have been directed by officials to contact the public affairs section at United States Air Force Special Operations Command at org box: afsoc.pa.org@us.af.mil.
 
Additionally, for family members, military and government civilians seeking assistance whose lives have been impacted by the recent events, they are encouraged to contact the Emergency Family Assistance Cell at 850-884-4494.

    Never take a single day for granted.  Losing someone unexpectedly is the worst thing a family could suffer from.   

    Godspeed to the crew!  We'll see each other again!

    Does anyone know of a memorial fund for the crew?

    I taught Luke at Rucker when he was a stud. I remember one particular NVG flight with him where it was like CT with your bro. He was a tremendous dude with a phenomenal attitude. He worked hard and was super willing to learn.  He finished the program really strong. Luke, we will miss you dude.

    "A deadly Osprey aircraft crash last November off Japan was caused by cracks in a metal gear and the pilot’s decision to keep flying, instead of heeding multiple warnings that he should land, according to an Air Force investigation released Thursday."

    Thanks for the heads up. Lots to think about with the AIB's coming out this year. Priorities, crew communication, and heeding the instruments are my biggest takeaways from this and the B-1 crash.

    RIP to those lost in the CV-22 crash.

    Is a chip indicator on an Osprey a "land as soon as practical" or AC's discretion during a training mission?

    It's now revised and specified to aircrews is what the ABC article stated.
