U.S. Marine Corps joint terminal attack controllers communicate with a MV-22 Osprey during takeoff in Hokkaido, Japan, Aug. 18, 2017.
This specific Osprey departed from Misawa Air Base, Japan, and landed on Hokkaido for a historical Northern Viper 17 media day event with Japan Ground Self Defense Force Col. Seiichi Iwana, deputy commander of Japan Ground Self-Defense Force 11th Brigade, and Col. James F. Harp, the commanding officer of Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing.
