A day before the two A10s crashed at Nellis, an undisclosed/classified plane belonging to AF materiel command crashed, killing USAF test pilot Lt Col Eric Schulz. He was an f35 qual'd guy...curious what he was in or if it will ever be disclosed. RIP brother. Pretty highly qual'd dude.

Wonder if it's the (or one of the) SU-27 that was photographed earlier this year over Area 51.

Not that it matters anyway. The article I saw says he's the father of 5. I'm sorry for their loss.

Nickel on the grass....

I suspect the same, too.
