A V-22 Osprey conducted its inaugural landing on the new and improved flight deck of USNS hospital ship Mercy this month (April 2021), the Navy Times reports.
The milestone occurred as the Mercy is in the middle of Dynamic Interface exercise off the coast of Southern California, where it is testing variants of the V-22 Osprey and MH-60 Seahawk for take-offs and landings aboard the flight deck, the Navy said.
