The Osprey CV-22 is a vertical take off and landing aircraft that blends the helicopter with the long range and higher forward speed of a turboprop aircraft. It is used to conduct long-range reconnaissance and infiltration missions, and as a member of its aviation repair crew you will be called upon to maintain a high state of military readiness on the aircraft that you service. The aircraft features twin nacelles that swivel forward after takeoff as a helicopter, allowing the aircraft to function as a normal prop driven fixed wing aircraft.
To become a CV-22 Osprey Specialist you start with 9 weeks of basic training in Air Force boot camp, followed by 22 weeks of Individual specialized training. You will learn both in the classroom and in simulated field conditions. Training will be held at one of two air bases, either Kessler Air Force Base in Mississippi, or at Sheppard Air Base located in Texas.
