Historic Dates
On 28 February 1984, Pararescueman SSgt Scott A. Anderson was killed
in a C-130 crash. On board the same C-130 were seven Combat Controllers:
Capt. Roderick C. Gress, TSgt Larry A. Rainey, SSgt Victor A. Valley , SSgt
Eddy D. Clark, Sgt Emilio F. Martinez, Jr, Sgt Jonathon Goerling, and Sgt
Steven M. Ray. The PJ and CCT were on board to conduct a training parachute
jump. The C-130E, tail number 68-10944 took off from Zaragoza Spain on a
low-level jump training mission. Weather in the area included a 1200 feet
ceiling and 6 km visibility. The C-130 struck a mesa near Borja Spain at an
elevation of 2200 feet. In addition to the eight jumpers, there were seven
crew members, and three passengers for a total of eighteen fatalities. This
was the largest loss of Combat Controllers in a single plane crash in the
history of CCT. The cause of the accident was pilot error.
Also, let’s remember this day in history on 4 March 2002 when TSgt John Chapman (CCT) and SrA Jason Cunningham (PJ) were KIA on the Anaconda mission. Both were posthumously awarded the Air Force Cross. We’ll never forget them for being “First There… That Others May Live.”
In loving memory and deepest respect to our fallen brothers,
Wayne Norrad, President

USAF Outstanding CCT of the Year
Outstanding CCT of the Year
On Thursday the CCA was invited to Hurlburt Field for the first scheduled event of our Veterans Day weekend. This was the official presentation of the USAF Outstanding Combat Controllers for 2005 Awards. This ceremony was hosted by the 23rd STS in their compound on Hurlburt Field and the Masters of Ceremonies were Major Claude K. Tudor and CMSgt Donald J. (DJ) Cantwell from HQ USAF. The ceremony was presided over by the AFSOC Commander, Lt Gen Michael Wooley, and his comments were heart felt as he knows CCT very well and displays a deep respect for what our guys are doing while forward. I think it may be a little more than him being a being an honorary 23 STS Blue Team member, but that Blue Team Gunslingers hat really helped.
We all gathered in the 23rd auditorium for this event with standing room only for active duty, retired CCT, proud parents and family members of the recipients.
The 2005 Award winners were:
Field Grade Special Tactics Officer of the Year
Major Michael E. Martin
24 STS, Pope AFB, NC
Company Grade Special Tactics Officer of the Year
Captain James Alexander
21 STS, Pope AFB, NC
Combat Control Senior NCO of the Year
MSgt Douglas Fenske
21 STS, Pope AFB, NC
Combat Control NCO of the Year
TSgt Bradley Reilly
23 STS, Hurlburt Field, FL
Combat Control Airman of the Year
SrA Fred Baker, 21 STS
Pope AFB, NC
The awards ceremony was followed by a Special Tactics Display put on by the 23 STS. I get to work with these guys everyday so I know how much work goes into setting up these Static Displays, also known as Dog and Pony’s, but LtCol Eric Ray, Chief Tim Hoye and the men and women of the mighty Two Three really seemed to enjoy talking to the attendees and explaining the newer equipment and updating the CCA members on current tactics techniques and procedures. I saw a couple of retirees looking for a PRC-47, phone patches are not that common these days and thank goodness those 74lbs of love don’t get deployed anymore!
Once again the 23 STS did a great job hosting the awards ceremony and Static display, Thanks!
