On Tuesday, July 17, 2001, at about 7am, Pilot Maj. Aaron George of the 416th Flight Test Squadron at Edwards Air Force Base and Judson Brohmer of Tehachapi, an aerial photographer under contract to the Air Force Flight Test Center, were killed in the crash of an Edwards based F-16B while on a test sortie to chase and film the launch of the Miniature Air-Launch Decoy (MALD) from a second F-16, also from the 416th Flight Test Squadron.
"Our hearts and prayers go out to the George and Brohmer families along with the entire Edwards community during this time of sorrow," Congressman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon said in a statement. "These brave men shall always be remembered and honored for their service to our nation, and for their ultimate sacrifice in defense of America's freedom."
Maj. Gen. Doug Pearson, Air Force Flight Test Center commander, said, `I deeply regret the loss of these two highly regarded members of our flight test community; my heart goes out to their wives and children. We embrace their families and friends to aid them in this time of grief. The Air Force family, from near and far, will come together to provide support and comfort in the days ahead."
Judson Brohmer was a former Lockheed Martin photographer who in March 2001, left his job at the F-22 Combined Test Force to work as a freelance photographer. While a Lockheed Martin photographer, Judson Brohmer was featured along with other photographers in the January 2000 issue of Lockheed's "Code One" magazine:
