US Marines say V-22 Osprey will fly well in desert dust
James Darcy, spokesman for the Navy's V-22 program office, said the recent problems experienced by the Air Force with the V-22 in desert conditions can be attributed to an inefficient supply system and inexperienced maintenance planning.

"The CV-22 maintenance community has not had as much opportunity to work through the challenges of learning a new aircraft as the MV-22 community. Both the maintenance and the supply issues are to be expected as the community grows and gains experience," Darcy said.
