Lt. Gen. Michael Conley stated, 'As of right now, we're about 60% of the fleet that's returned to flying. We've got about the same number of aircrew that are returned fully.' This highlights the progress in returning the CV-22 Osprey fleet to operational status. The timeline for full readiness indicates strong confidence in safety measures being implemented after the November crash.
Conley emphasized that 'any restrictions on the aircraft imposed by the Osprey V-22 Joint Program Office will not deter how combatant commanders can use them.' This statement underscores the effectiveness and ongoing mission readiness of the Osprey aircraft despite current limitations from NAVAIR.
