I knew the student, we were friends, went to the same university and in the same ROTC program, one year behind me. He was a real great kid, grew up in australia and had a quirky accent that everyone loved. We even went skiing together and was the kind of guy who everyone wanted to be around. Rest in peace Alec, I'm going to miss you bro.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Best wishes to you and your fellow pilots. Keep your eyes out.
