Word around the campfire right now is that they were from the Teams.
RIP to the lost. Thoughts out for their families..

Sad to hear. I wonder what happened? I mean, mechanical failure or shot down?
According to the news report, they were shot down.
Research: still the best game in town.
Always a sad day when we lose any of our young men and women. RIP.
Thoughts out to family and friends.
