Osprey crash update

USAF Bell Boeing CV-22B Osprey with six crew members has crashed into the sea off Yakushima. Search operations are being conducted. Debris was found in the sea. There is at least one fatality. Eyewitness reports left engine fire.

The Osprey requested to Yakushima Radio about an emergency landing on Yakushima Airport (KUM/RJFC) at 14:35 LT, and was approaching to runway 32. However, a commercial flight, JL2450 from Yakushima to Osaka/Itami, an ATR 42-600, JA09JC, was just departing from Yakushima at that time, which might disturb a prompt landing of the Osprey. (Yakushima Airport has a single runway 32/14 with the length of 1500 m and without any parallel taxiway.)
