herkeng Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Does anyone out there have a update on the B-52 crash off of Guam on Monday? Trying to see if any of my old crewdogs from my gunner days were on the plane. Herkeng (retired) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herkeng Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Just got this off the AF web. 7/23/2008 - BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. (AFPN) -- Air Force officials have released the names of the Barksdale crew members of the B-52 that crashed July 21 off Guam\'s northwest coast. Five of the six crew members were stationed here. They are Maj. Christopher M. Cooper, 33, aircraft commander; Maj. Brent D. Williams, 37, navigator; Capt. Michael K. Dodson, 31, co-pilot; 1st Lt. Joshua D. Shepherd, 26, navigator; and 1st Lt. Robert D Gerren, 32, electronic warfare officer. The sixth crew member was Col. George Martin, flight surgeon and deputy commander of 36th Medical Group at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. The Barksdale Airmen were deployed to Guam with the 20th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron as part of DOD\'s continuous bomber presence mission in the Pacific. \"Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families of these Airmen,\" said Col. Robert Wheeler, 2d Bomb Wing commander. \"We appreciate the military and civilian organizations who are continuing recovery efforts to bring our Airmen home.\" God Bless them all Herkeng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
