Six airmen were killed when a U.S. Air Force KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed during ongoing combat operations against Iran.
He shattered the record for flying more than any other helicopter pilot, logging 1,000 more hours than the pilot with the second most.
“All six crew members aboard a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft that went down in western Iraq are now confirmed deceased,” CENTCOM announced.
The announcement came days after Ecuador and the U.S. began joint military operations against organized crime groups in the South American country.
