The Fairchild-based aircrew, consisting of Capt. Mark Voss of Boerne, Texas, Capt. Victoria A. Pinckney of Colorado Springs, Colo., and Tech Sgt. Herman Mackey III of Bakersfield, Calif., perished when their McConnell-based KC-135 Stratotanker crashed in northern Kyrgyzstan, May 3, 2013.

Members of Team McConnell gathered today for a short memorial service to honor the fallen Airmen.
