Prayers for our brothers in arms. A Dyess bird out of the 774 EAS. Not sure if it was a Dyess crew or not.

Godspeed brothers, your sacrifice will never go forgotten.

Official AF sources have ID'd the crew as deployed from the 39th AS out of Dyess. The 2 other service members were a FAST from Hanscomb.

Godspeed and rest them,till last year I was flying the Bagram, Kandahar, Bastion, Maz e Sharif resupply runs, nothing but respect and love for the active duty crews flying there daily, the Hindu Kush is no joke.
