Mothers in the military on the front lines. Brought to you by the leftist PC hacks of DC. ‘Equality’ they say—explain that to her now motherless son.

I wonder if a MANPAD struck this aircraft or another Surface-To-Air missile of some sort.. Perhaps part of the scores of MANPADs that are ‘missing’?

Only three killed? Have they changed the number of a flight crew?

In the past, you had the Aircraft Commander, Co-pilot, Navigator, and boom operator/cargo master.

On many missions one maintenance person from the ground often flew with them. I logged many a mission over SE Asia in one.

An Air Force grad is probably not an “airman”. Just saying.

It sounds like the optempo for getting stuff out of Afghanistan is taking its toll.
