The Department of War has identified six Air Force members killed Thursday after their KC-135 refueling plane crashed in western Iraq.
Among those lost is 38-year-old Capt. Seth R. Koval from Mooresville, Indiana.
Koval spent nearly two decades serving in the Indiana and Ohio National Guards.
The crash happened during an unspecified incident involving two aircraft in what military leaders described as friendly airspace.
The second plane was able to land safely.
Captain Koval was a highly experienced instructor pilot who had previously deployed four times to Europe and the Pacific.
