A MV-22B Osprey and its crew conduct mountain area training at Mt. Fuji, Japan, Oct. 9, 2015. The training prepared the pilots and crew for the rigors of operating the aircraft at high elevations. “The aircraft operates with less power and takes longer to slow down at high elevation, so this boosts our performance,” said Capt. Piotr K. Stapor, an Osprey pilot from Lawrenceville, Georgia. The Osprey and crew are with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Cpl. Tyler S.
