Spouse was the Civil Service RN that flew as part of a team that Medically Transported a newborn baby from the Base Hospital to Fargo. She received her Wings at Langley AFB as part of Helicopter Flight Nurse training. She is the only Civil Servant RN that was awarded Wings and has a Life Saving Mission to her credit. The Air Force pulled her wings in 1993 as she was told only Active Duty and Reserve AF could be on flying status. She did not know 2461 crashed until today. Sad. Thoughts to the aircrew members and ground crew.
was medic assigned to this unit and on leave when it happened. Thank you to the crew for service and ultimate sacrifice
