美国海军陆战队第265倾转旋翼机中队两架 MV-22B“鱼鹰”运输机飞越硫磺岛折钵山前往父岛,折钵山是一座尚未完全冷却的死火山,海拔160米,终年喷发着雾气,硫磺味弥漫全岛,硫磺岛因此得名。(MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft fly past Mount Suribachi July 28 at Iwo To, Japan, en route to Chichi Jima. Due to Chichi Jima's remote location, the residents rely heavily on nearby Iwo To for medical and humanitarian relief. Given the long-range, heavy-lift capabilities of the Osprey, which have been consistently demonstrated during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations and exercises around the Asia-Pacific, the aircraft provides a reliable and effective means for response to future medical, humanitarian and relief needs. The Ospreys and crew are with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force.)
