DJIBOUTI, Africa (Jan. 5, 2017) Marine MV-22 Ospreys head toward a landing zone marked by smoke during a non-combatant evacuation training operation in Djibouti, Africa, Jan. 5, 2017. Ospreys have the capability to take off and land like a helicopter and fly like a fixed-wing aircraft. This capability increases its versatility compared to traditional aircraft by negating the need for a runway to take off and land while increasing the distance and speed it can travel. The Osprey and crew are with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 163 (Reinforced), 11th MEU. ( Marine Corps photo by Lance
