TOMIOKA, Japan — The U.S. and Japanese militaries will resume flights of Osprey aircraft in Japan after completing necessary maintenance and training following a fatal crash in southern Japan last November, officials said Wednesday. The Osprey aircraft, which can take off like a helicopter and then fly like an airplane, has had a troubled history, including numerous crashes. Japan’s Defense Ministry said the two countries had discussed the resumption of Osprey flights in Japan since the U.S.

Okinawa is home to Marine Corps Air Station Futenma and its 24 MV-22B Ospreys, and where half of the American troops in Japan are based. Okinawa Gov. Denny Tamaki objected to the planned return to flight operations, saying there was not sufficient explanation about the cause of the accident. He told reporters Wednesday that he was informed by Japanese defense officials about the plan, but no detailed explanation was given.
