Very sad news indeed.
According to the spottinggroup Volkel site, the F-16 crashed was the J-364 and the 29 year old pilot was from the 312th squadron from Afb. Volkel.
I worked at the 312th for more than 5 years, many of my old friends and old co-workers are or were working in warzones.
When things like this happen, it makes you realize that its very close from your own front door.
Strength to the family and relatives.
