AlbieF15, hope you are okay

My thoughts and prayers out to the folks in Eglin/Tyndall. It's been a rough time for the Eagle folks.

I hope everyone is OK. My friend JR flies up there as an IP.

 

[SIG600]

Damn no kidding. Glad to hear everyone got out ok, everything else is just details. This report says both recovered ok.

Hopefully they were able to meet up in the water to get their story straight!

Edit: Never mind, Fox News says one was able to give a talk on to the area of the other. Again, just glad everyone got out. Hope these bro's are in good health.

One man is now being reported as dead after rescue.

 

[Tycer]

Was a great guy. I flew with him. He will be missed.

 

[ultrarunner]

Have the names been released yet? A friend of mine just called and he knows of an IP named Mark down there. Any word?

 

[AirBadger]

Terrible news, my sympathy goes out to everyone affected by this. Especially sad because yesterday I figured they were both fine after being rescued.

 

[AlbieF15]

Albie's not flying military anymore, unless I'm mistaken. Two Eglin jets from the 33d Wing. Tyndall is the Eagle schoolhouse and there are several Guard/Reserve type IPs there. Eglin does have some Reservists, but not many.

Magnum is correct. My fini flight was Jan 07.

I'm hoping and praying its not someone I know, and feeling guilty at the same time for such thoughts. This is part of the business...but its the part that sucks.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the pilot and his family. Having grown up here by Eglin, it's always sad to see servicemembers die on training missions.

 

[SIG600]

God that really sucks. Almost irresponsible of the media to jump on news like that without confirmation. Reminds me of the Coal Miners that were killed in West Va.

Prayers to all involved, especially the family and the surviving member of the flight. I can't imagine the survivors guilt.
