NOMAD F-15 Fighters Collide Over Gulf of Mexico



Following is the text of an announcement running on the air here at Stardust Radio. There is no way to measure the sadness in our hearts as we recognize the loss of an American Hero and wish to send our condolences to all who knew and loved this veteran member of the NOMADS:

Hi Everyone,

This is Judi from the United We Roll World Tour Show and I am coming to
you to share with you some sad news. Yesterday afternoon – Wed February
21st – two F-15s collided while flying a combat training mission over the
Gulf Of Mexico. These were the F-15C single seat Fighter jets from the 58th
Squadron of the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin Air Base here in NW FL.

HOME OF THE NOMADS – one incredible fighter unit!

While both pilots were rescued from the Gulf waters, sadly, one of them did
not make it through the night and has entered the sacred grounds of the
Fallen Heroes, as have many other Nomad Freedom Fighters.

It is with heavy hearts that the Stardust family is reaching out to Nomads
and Nomad families around the Globe. We suffer your loss with you as we
understand the commitment that each of you have made to your mission and
to your country – and we understand that you put yourselves in harm’s way
to protect us and our country whether you serve overseas or here at home.

May God Bless each and every one of you and may He watch over your
loved ones.

Judi & Jeff
And All the Stardust Family
