Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) artisans transport an MV-22 Osprey in preparation for “ground turn” which is an essential operational test of all of the aircraft’s systems and components. This is one of the last major steps that must be accomplished before this aircraft can be determined to be “Safe for Flight.” FRCE artisans tackled corrosion on the aircraft’s K-fittings and replaced the stow ring. Both procedures were conducted with the wing off, rather than the standard wing-on method. This marked the first completion of these procedures by a naval aviation depot. (Photo by Joe Andes, Fl
