Ospreys migrate to
England
A CV-22B Osprey receives fuel June 21, 2013, off the coast of
Greenland by a 7th Special Operations Squadron MC-130H Combat Talon
II. The aircraft landed in Iceland during its journey to RAF
Mildenhall, England, to allow for crew rest and refueling. The
CV-22, assigned to the 7th SOS, is the first of 10 slated to arrive
as part of the 352nd Special Operations Group expansion, which will
last through the end of 2014.
鱼鹰千里迢迢从美国本土自行飞抵英国基地交付
2013年6月21日,美国空军的CV-22“鱼鹰”倾转旋翼机从美国本土出发,途径冰岛降落凯夫拉维克机场,进行中途补给休整后,再继续飞抵英国米尔登霍尔空军基地,将填补替换空军352特种作战群里目前使用的MH-53
“低空铺路”直升机。
而本次千里迢迢从美国本土仅靠空中加油和沿途停靠一次就飞抵英国的表现,足可以看到鱼鹰所具有的巨大潜力,若是过去直升机基本是无法做到这样自行机动到海外有相当距离的目的地,而是靠大型运输机运往目的地。
