I wish to offer my deepest condolences to the Adcock family. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Shane in 3-7 FA. I knew him to be a fine, professional officer who drew respect from all he worked with. He will be missed.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, there is no mention of an escort in this thread...please wait for confirmation before jumping the gun. thanks.
If it does happen, we'll need a chaser vehicle.
