The Marine Corps says it will not be grounding its fleet of MV-22B Osprey aircraft less than a day after the Air Force announced an indefinite halt, citing safety issues with the airplane's clutch. The Corps said that it's known about the problem since 2010 and its pilots can handle it, with one service official calling the issues "common knowledge."

They may handle that aspect, but the Marines have had their share of crashes also. The overall record for this airframe still needs to be looked at.

Agreed. I assume that once the AF gets a fix for it, the Marines will adopt it as well

Lt Col Charlie Brown I feel like this is making my fellow Marines take an unnecessary risk since this is a know problem.
