V-22 Engine Fire Caused Major Damage
The recent MV-22 engine fire at Marine Corps Air Station New River caused serious damage of up to $1 million.

While the cause of the accident has not been determined yet, Marine Corps and Air Force V-22s are flying under a flight clearance restriction.

Before flying, V-22 pilots must turn off the engine air particle separator, which is designed to filter out dirt and debris.
