It is being reported that the Eglin crash of the CV-22 may have been the result of "Roll Off". The formation of two Osprey's were in Conversion Mode, fairly low to the ground doing a Gunnery mission using a tactic carried over from Pavelow Helicopter Tactics.

The Squadron Commander was fired by his Wing Commander after the crash occurred.

That makes three crashes in a row that are being put down to Aircrew Error.
