Default Viper down in the Desert

An American gave his all today in a non-combat crash, shortly after takeoff from Jordan. No name released yet.

Here's a nickel on the grass...

He was on his way to the fight though, sounds like he tried to salvage a broke bird.

RIP.

Personal friend of mine from college/ROTC. We are all taken aback at the moment.

RIP.

Sorry to hear that, dude. I lost 8 friends in fighter crashes during my career.

Here's another nickel on the grass ...

Here's a toast to those who've gone before,
Who've given their lives in both peace and war,
Defending the freedoms others take for granted.
May we never forget.
