I know the government trapper/wildlife guy for Vance and Kegelman air field and birds are a huge issue at both in the fall and winter. Bad deal and sorry to hear. I know several T6 and T1 IP there, no idea who the student and IP today.
Always a possibility. I got my doubts.
So sorry to hear this. :/
R.I.P. indeed, Airmen.

Yep- So are the B-52 's that still are flying.
"Only the H model is still in the Air Force inventory and is assigned to the 5th Bomb Wing at Minot AFB, North Dakota, and the 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, which fall under Air Force Global Strike Command. The aircraft is also assigned to the Air Force Reserve Command's 307th Bomb Wing at Barksdale AFB."
You may need to turn up the volume on your PC or other device. Audio was pretty low.
ECHO that..
I’m in that area a lot where they train. Nice warm day during hunting season while taking a break I’ll lay down on the back side of the pond dam to watch them practice dog fighting overhead.
Don’t know if that is what happened but it’s a tragedy.

Truly another tragedy of our servicemen dying while stateside in a “training”
Accident. The amount of deaths due to “training accidents” is astonishing. I pray their families can find comfort in the Lord.

The T-38 is supposed to be replaced with the T-7A in 2023.
First training death at Vance since 2000. 800-1000 landings per day. The two Talons were landing when the one went inverted and didn't recover.
