My younger son knew the LT from flight school, it's a terrible loss to the community.

The Army has released the names of the two pilots killed in the AH-64 crash.

The photo of the LT is taken in front of a Hu-1 Exhibit at the Ft. Rucker Aviation Museum where they have the Flight School Graduations. This picture is like the many that are taken after graduation by family members, I took the same picture. This is such a stark reminder of the the dangers and sacrifice our service members live with everyday. Son has lost three friends to helicopter accidents in less then a year. God's speed to all that serve.
