70% availability for an aircraft that is being flown 65 hours per month......try that in the civlian world and survive?

That doesn't take in the fact the aircraft were "cherry picked" to ensure all major maintenance inspections would not take place during the deployment of the unit.

The Osprey is said to be "comparable" in that regard to other USMC aircraft availability rates.
