The U.S. military has announced it is grounding all of its Osprey V-22 helicopters, one week after eight Air Force service members died in a crash.
Maj. Luke A. Unrath, 34, was a CV-22 pilot and flight commander.
All eight airmen who were aboard an Osprey military aircraft that crashed off Japan on November 29, are considered deceased, the US Air Force said Tuesday. A statement by Air Force Special Operations Command said six of the eight crew members’ remains had been located. It added, “the US military transitioned search and rescue operations to search and recovery operations,” meaning “survivors are unlikely."
