Japan has suspended flights of its Osprey aircraft after a U.S. Air Force Osprey based in Japan crashed into the sea during a training mission.
Last year, Air Force Special Operations Command ordered a temporary stand-down of its Osprey fleet following back-to-back safety incidents where the Osprey clutch slipped, causing an uneven distribution of power to its rotors.
The U.S. Osprey crash killed at least one of the eight crew members.
Tokyo says it has also asked the U.S. military to ground all Ospreys operating in Japan except for those joining the search operations.
