The chief of public affairs for the 439th Airlift Wing, based at Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, said Galliher is due to arrive at about 12:45 p.m. Friday.
The military announced late Wednesday it was grounding all of its Osprey V-22 helicopters, one week after Pittsfield native Jacob Galliher and seven other Air Force Special Operations Command service members died in a crash off the coast of Japan.
