A: Estimates depend on the cutoff date.
- 62 fatalities total (killed “a total of sixty-two people”) from V-22 Osprey accidents up to November 2023. (Wikipedia)
- 64 fatalities (64 personnel killed) reported later in 2024 by the Associated Press (it reflects a later window that includes additional fatal crashes after the Nov 2023 total).

One would think that this would strike some reporter as newsworthy or a Congress person needing investigation...
Good find on the numbers; though I dont think it includes developmental pilots.
I take that bask - didn’t take the time to read all the posts.
