The Marine Corps version of the V-22 Osprey tilt rotor aircraft arrived at Grand Forks AFB, N.D., last week to begin cold weather testing, the Grand Forks Herald reports. The Marines are at the Northern Tier base to field test cold weather maintenance on the new aircraft under “extreme” conditions, says the Herald.
The Air Force plans to conduct more intensive training—and Congress is set to help by boosting funding for exercises and so-called “campaigning” by hundreds of millions of dollars, particularly in the Pacific.
