Not a good day for a MV-22B and DHC-6.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – A civilian Twin Otter airplane rolled and crashed into a Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey parked on a ramp at an airfield and caused extensive damage to both aircraft, according to officials and an incident report.

No one was injured in the May 30 mishap at Brown Field Municipal Airport, a San Diego city-run general aviation facility near the U.S.-Mexico border.

Well, I think that MV-22B just jumped to the head of the queue for the common nacelle rework (brings all MV-22Bs up to a common standard and greatly eases the logistics train while actually removing the weight of no longer needed wiring harnesses from the nacelle.
