Yesterday at 08:45 PM1 day Fuck...looks like right on the runway too? Overhead footage shows there's nothing left. Low airspeed and low altitude are not good at all for the upstairs guys getting out. I don't even want to imagine about the N/RN.

We lost contact over the years but I happened to see him at a fellow crewdog's wedding and it was great to catch up with him for a few hours that night. While I kept wanting to know about all the cool test stuff he got to do, he would mostly talk about what his family was doing and how proud he was of his kids. Tragic loss for his family, the Air Force, and the world in general.
