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.

Fair winds and following seas Captain.
Condolences to his family and friends.

I don't know if all of you have seen this...it's making it's rounds through the "bro-network" on Facebook. Share, donate...remember Pyro.
