F-15E Crew Buried In Arlington

Two F-15E Strike Eagle crewmembers killed in action during Operation Iraqi Freedom were buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full honors Aug. 29.

Capt. Eric B. Das, aircraft commander, and Lt. Col. William R. Watkins III, weapon systems officer, were killed April 7 when their aircraft went down during a combat mission over Iraq. They were assigned to the 333rd Fighter Squadron from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C. Das, 30, was from Amarillo, Texas, and Watkins, 37, was from Danville, Va.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John P. Jumper presented flags to the widows of the two fliers, Maj. Mary M. Watkins and Capt. Nicole C. Das. Four F-15Es from the 4th Fighter Wing flew in a missing-man formation as a final tribute. [ANN Thanks Staff Sgt. Melissa Allan for the photo]

Remember them with gratitude and respect...
