Akinori Eto, the Japanese Minister of Defense, secures the straps of his seat belt just prior to liftoff in a MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft Nov. 8 during Tomodachi relief exercise 15.2 near Izu Oshima Island, Tokyo Metropolis Prefecture, Japan. TREX 15.2 is an annual, bilateral training exercise that simulates humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions in the Asia-Pacific region while forging a stronger U.S. and Japanese alliance. “I personally feel that the MV-22B Osprey is far better than the CH-46; what’s good about it is its speed and range,” said Eto from Towada, Aomori, Japan. “I believe these features will be very helpful in saving lives during operations in remote islands.”
