If anyone who has pictures they would like me to add to this gallery, please contact me. I would like for this gallery to remain a tribute to our fallen friends.

I had the pleasure of knowing and flying with Lawerence and "Little Jimmy" with the 16 SOS Spectre Gunship Squadron. They are still remembered by me and the entire AFSOC community. God bless their families and friends.

If Heaven wasn't so far away, I'd pack and come for the day. 3/30/73-3/31/05 Patrick Ryan Pentico. (Tico) Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. We all miss you very much. :(

My cousin, Patrick Ryan Pentico, was one of the eleven men killed in the plane crash during Wrath Eleven six years ago. When we found out that Patrick had died, it hit us all really hard, and we're still having a hard time dealing with it. Losing Parick has been very difficult. He was a very loving person, and the endless line of cars and people at his funeral proved that. We will never forget him. God Bless him and the ten other men who were killed.

Their loss is felt by so many. They touched us, mentored us, and stood by us as Air Commandos defending freedom. RIP you are missed but not forgotten.

6 years ago today... we still miss you guys. I stood in front of the 7th SOS today, and felt a bit sad.. but also overwhelmingly proud to have served with all of you.

Tom Lankford		31-Mar-2011 18:56

I had the pleasure to fly with Surender in the 2nd AS. And be a part of the AF Special Ops community. My friend You are truly missed.

Jason		18-May-2010 23:39
Just found out today about Surender. We went to school together. He was a great guy and I'm saddened by learning this news today, 5 years after. RIP Captain

Dan Sheffer		01-Apr-2010 13:08
God bless you my friends. I will never forget the sacrifice you made.

MJ Schepers		01-Apr-2010 09:58
We miss our nephew Surender very much. Hardly a day doesn't go by that I don't think about him and the crew. RIP Dear One.

Thom Maxwell		31-Mar-2010 23:29
I miss them all very much. Left the 7th about 6 months prior but will never forget them and all my fellow 7th crewmembers. I remember the day I met Tico in '98 at Dyess, what a great guy. All of them are great HEROS. Thom

I will be sure to give a slow salute today at TAPS. Thank you for your complete dedication and sacrafice. God bless the families of "Wrath 11".

Chad Phillips		31-Aug-2009 02:26
I was a member of the US Army Blackhawk crew station in Kosovo that was the first to go in after them and I brought alot of them off of the mountain. I hope to see them all on the other side. God Bless them and their Families.

I just got this news when searching this morning for my old roommate Rocco(TSgt Glenn "Rocco" Lastes). We were roommates at language school in Monterey back in 1984/5. This news is very saddening as I hoped we could meet up again some day. I wish the family well. He was a great man and will never be forgotten.

Juan Flores		01-Apr-2009 03:16
Four years since this tragic accident took some of our best. In memory of TSgt Glenn "Rocco" Lastes, short in stature but with a huge heart and love for his country. We salute you, Rocco.

Nicely done

2Lt John K. Jackson		22-Oct-2008 02:35
I graduate pilot training in two days. I owe it to Charlie. God Bless.

eric		20-May-2008 00:36
I went to bot w/charles. He was one cool dude. Anyone know the cause of the accident? I saw a picture of the crash a while ago...looked almost like an incident of cfit.

2Lt John K. Jackson		16-Oct-2007 21:28
Thank you for the tribute of our fallen Airmen. I was an old friend of Charlie "Chuckwagon" Owens before he was commissioned. He was the one guy who told me to go to college and get commissioned. Now because of his motivation, I am a 2nd Lieutenant and started pilot training two weeks ago. Charlie was a great friend to many and I think of him often. Thanks again for recognizing the individuals onboard "Wrath 11".

Nice Tribute – Thanks for including the MC 130H picture for those of us not familiar with US aircraft. Have they established a cause?
