　防衛省は２１日、米軍が輸送機オスプレイの飛行停止措置を解除したことを受け、陸上自衛隊が運用するオスプレイも必要な安全対策を講じた上で飛行を再開させると発表した。陸自のオスプレイは今月１０日から飛行を見合わせている。（2024/12/21-20:55）

The Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force will resume flights of its Osprey transport aircraft after taking necessary safety action, the Defense Ministry said Saturday.
   The ministry announced the decision after the U.S. military said Friday that its Ospreys will resume flights after undergoing an additional safety inspection.
   The U.S. military had grounded the aircraft since a near-crash involving an Osprey in New Mexico in November.
   The U.S. Naval Air Systems Command said Friday that it has ordered the inspection of the Osprey to verify the flight hours on each proprotor gearbox prior to an aircraft's next flight.
   The GSDF's Ospreys, which have been grounded since Dec. 10, will resume flights after undergoing a similar safety inspection, the ministry said.
