Capt. Kelly Hinz Was One Of Two Pilots Killed In Apparent
Mid-Air Over Iraq
When two USMC F/A-18 Hornets apparently collided in mid-air over
Iraq Monday, it was an especially telling blow for one of the
families. For Kurt and Luke Hinz, along with their mother, Pat, it
was the second aviation tragedy in less than a year. In May, 2004,
Pat's husband, Donald, head of the Tuskegee Airmen Red Tail
Project, was lost in a P-51 accident in Wisconsin. Now, her son,
30-year old Kelly, was gone as well.
