Yes - a sad day for all.
Sidenote. I'm in P-cola this weekend and happen to be staying with the XO of the squadron that lost the plane and crew. It really hit home Friday night when I first heard the news and they identified which squadron had the mishap. I knew that he was suppose to be out of town on a x/c so it was a relief to hear his voice when he called to say that he was back in town. Needless to say he has been living on the phone this weekend.
Take heart though that the military is doing everything they can for the families of both aircrew. I will gladly pass along the condolences of the forum members to the command.
