Cannon Crash Victims Identified

 

The 27th Special Operations Wing has identified the three airmen killed earlier this week in a training accident.

Captain Andrew Becker was a 33-year-old pilot from Novi, Michigan. He is survived by his spouse, mother, and father. Captain Kenneth Dalga was a 29-year-old combat systems officer from Goldsboro, North Carolina. He is survived by his spouse, son, and mother. First Lieutenant Frederick Dellecker was a 26-year-old co-pilot from Daytona Beach, Florida. He is survived by his mother and father. All three men were with the 318th Special Operations Squadron.

This one hits close to home. I was stationed at Cannon for five years and was always impressed by the mission of the 318th SOS. They fly into remote and not always friendly AOR’s in aircraft with zero defense capabilities.

Godspeed Gentlemen.

    High Flight, men.
    Damn, it’s dusty here.

    While we sleep. While we go about our daily lives. Thank you gentlemen.

  3. Rest in peace, gentlemen. May God comfort your surviving family, friends, and colleagues.
