Thank you diginagain. I was puzzled by the Telegraph report of ejection. My best guess is that copilot and passenger were told to jump while pilot tried to regain control. Survival of pilot and aircraft is very good news, and debrief may contribute to solution of unexplained V-22 accidents.
henry, I'll check with my Osprey friends, but doesn't Osprey usually take off with a pilot, co-pilot, and two crewmen in the back?
