They Were Important
The local paper reports that:
Maj. Randell D. Voas and Senior Master Sgt. James B. Lackey, both from the 8th Special Operations Squadron, died when a CV-22 Osprey carrying U.S. forces crashed about seven miles west of Qalat, the capital of Zabul province, according to an Air Force Special Operations Command press release.
Major Voas and SMS Lackey were the squadron’s flight evaluation team, rating pilots and flight engineers on their job performance. They were the primary instructors at the squadron for flight crews. It takes years for people to attain their proficiency.
