Maj. Brad Funk, 35, a 90th Flying Training Squadron instructor pilot, and 2nd Lt. Alec Littler, 23, a student pilot in the 80th Flying Training Wing's Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program, died when the aircraft crashed on approach during a training mission at about 7:55 a.m.
A board of officers is investigating the accident. More information will be released as it becomes available.
Prayers for the families of the pilots and all those effected by this tragedy. May God bless.
Was the other AC (8 days ago) on final when it crashed ?
The other jet was on takeoff roll. This one was doing a touch-and-go.
Weird......
