An MV-22 Osprey from Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa hovers over a 2180-pound pallet during an external-lift drill at Morón Air Base, Spain, Jan. 19, 2015. The hurricane-like winds from the aircraft blasted Marines on the ground as they connected the pallet to the Osprey’s lift cable. ( Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
