RIP to the crew...families are in my prayers.

Also curious if they released the names yet. I have a few friends at UPS on the 747-400

Godspeed. Prayers for the departed, their families, and all of you at Brown.

They left home for a few days like we all do. None of us really enjoy leaving our families, but that is how we pay the bills. God bless them and I pray they left no children behind.

The FO left behind a daughter I believe around 4 or 5 years old.

I can't imagine leaving my children behind. Godspeed guys.

Not sure if names have been officially released, so I won't name him here, yet. The FO lived in Sanford, FL, leaving behind his wife and young daughter. He was a USMC Veteran, and is an alumni of Comair Aviation Academy & Chautauqua. His FB friends are mostly all in the know of the situation an tributes have been flowing steadily since the news broke. We are all deeply saddened by the tragic events and pray for his family.

Semper Fidelis, M.B. We'll miss you terribly...

The airframe had flown 9977 hours, completing 1764 takeoffs and landings. It was up to date on all maintenance, having just completed a major inspection in June 2010.



My prayers go to their families.

I flew with the first officer numerous times. He was one of the sharpest, most professional individuals I ever flew with. Based on my experience flying with him, I feel he was in a no-win situation or he'd still be with us. RIP.
