Washington CNN —The remains of one airman who was aboard the Air Force CV-22B Osprey that crashed off the coast of Yakushima Island, Japan, on Wednesday have been recovered, the Air Force said Friday.
“Seven Airmen are in DUSTWUN status meaning ‘duty status-whereabouts unknown,’” a release on Friday from Air Force Special Operations Command said.
All V22 Ospreys in Japan operate only after undergoing thorough maintenance and safety checks,” Singh said.
The CV-22 Osprey was conducting a “routine training mission” at the time of the “mishap” on Wednesday, the Air Force has said previously.
The Osprey has a history of mechanical and operational issues, and has been involved in several fatal incidents over the last 30 years.
