Is it typical to land at a little local airport? We’re between Charleston and Parkersburg. Charleston especially would have much better facilities. I guess if you’re having trouble, any airport is better than trying to put it down in the woods or on a rural road.
I don’t know much about the details of aircraft refueling - does an Osprey take the same fuel as local single engine private planes?
The Osprey is powered by Rolls Royce T406 turboshaft engines, so Jet fuel.
Jet fuel.. capable of refuel mid-air. They can put down anywhere there is room Vertical Land and Takeoff. If the little local has this fuel, so might have been a mechanical.
