A SWAP-OVER of US Air Force CV-22B Ospreys operated by the 352nd Special Operations Wing's 7th Special Operations Squadron (SOS) at RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk, took place during December. Three Ospreys (11 -0057, 11-0058 and 11-0061) departed from the base on December 9. Five days later, on December 14, three more CV-22BS arrived to replace them. These comprised 10-0052 callsign 'Honda 81', 11-0059 'Honda 82' and 11-0060 'Honda 83.' Of the three new arrivals, two of these (11 -0059 and 11 -0060) had previously served with the 7th SOS, between 2013 and 2016. With these changes, the current complement should comprise nine aircraft: 07-0033, 08-0050, 08-0051, 10-0052, 11-0059, 11-0060, 12-0063, 12-0064 and 12-0065.
