pittsdriver Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Was it an active duty crew or one of the contractors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-21.Pilot Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Active Duty... I (unfortunately) knew one of the dudes on board -- not well, but met on a TDY once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSituation Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 This one hits really close to home. Pilot was my flight commander at DM before the transfer to MC-12s. Absolutely fantastic leader, pilot and friend. A toast to all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUSEPLUG Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 My condolences to the families of the crew. Is anyone else bothered by the fact that Facebook is where we learn of such a loss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KState_Poke22 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 My condolences to the families of the crew. Is anyone else bothered by the fact that Facebook is where we learn of such a loss? They've been guarding details to complete notifications. I'm sure the press will get the details out soon enough. Him him...this one hits close..

stract Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 well they aren't doing a very good job, as the name of the pilot at least has been splashed all over FB since about 2 hrs after the mishap occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUSEPLUG Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 well they aren't doing a very good job, as the name of the pilot at least has been splashed all over FB since about 2 hrs after the mishap occurred.

KState_Poke22 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 They've told members of the individuals' squadrons. Then they tell their friends, who tell their friends, etc... I haven't seen anything in the press with names or even aircraft in the media yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineapigfury Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 well they aren't doing a very good job, as the name of the pilot at least has been splashed all over FB since about 2 hrs after the mishap occurred. That's on the people posting, who should know better. This is awful enough for the families, finding out via Facebook is even shittier since they could be anywhere looking at their phone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is awful enough for the families, finding out via Facebook is even shittier since they could be anywhere looking at their phone. I agree. If you really want to respect them and the families, allow them to find out formally when help can be there and not via FB. Bad on those who are posting it. Unfortunate.

HuggyU2 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Since I'm not FB savvy, how do you see that info on FB? I doubt any of you are "FB Friends" with the crewmembers, so do you do a search of some sort, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booj Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I noticed dudes posting pictures of the squadron patch with black ribbons on their profile pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 That's on the people posting, who should know better. Exactly. And if the info was truly out that fast, it's somebody down-range. If some MF'r in my Squadron pulled that shit they'd be on the first rotator back to the flagpole. That really chaps my ass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
