A deadly MV-22B Osprey crash in Norway claimed the lives of 4 Marines. Marine Corps aviation investigators stated pilot error was at fault for the crash in March. The aircrew and aircraft deviated from the preplanned and authorized flight. The aircraft impacted the eastern side of the Gråtådalen Valley, Norway. Investigators ruled the pilots 'exceeded the maximum angle-of-bank' for an Osprey. Deadly crash - Aircraft turned too sharply, which caused it to lose altitude & speed investigators said it isn't known which pilot had control of the aircraft at the time.

..."The four Marines who perished on the flight were identified days after the crash as Capt. Matthew J. Tomkiewicz, the aircraft commander; Capt. Ross A. Reynolds, the co-pilot; Gunnery Sgt. James W. Speedy, the aerial observer; and Cpl. Jacob M. Moore, the crew chief.
Investigators said they weren't able to determine which of the aircraft's two pilots had control at the time of the crash and there are "currently no recommendations for disciplinary or punitive action for any service members."
Since the crash, the service said that salvage and environmental cleanup efforts have been completed.
The Marine Corps had another Osprey crash in June in Southern California that claimed the lives of all five Marines aboard. The investigation results into that incident have not been released."
