It is with heavy hearts, that the men and women of Minot Air Force Base, the 5th Bomb Wing Warbirds, and 91st Missile Wing Rough Riders express our deep condolences to the family, friends, and teammates of the eight B-52 crew members who passed at Edwards AFB Monday, June 15.

Our hearts are with the loved ones of those lost and the entire Edwards AFB community.

As Americans, as Airmen, and as stewards of the B-52 here at Minot AFB, we feel this loss deeply.

The B-52 aircraft remains a legend, the crews who maintain and operate them are legendary, and the pioneers at the 412th Test Wing and industry partners who passed while relentlessly forging the future will be forever remembered.
