Struck By Thunderbolt
Richard Brunt touches a memorial plaque, located in Heritage Park at Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, Ariz., Mar 5, 2016, which honors Captain Patrick B. Olson, who died on Feb. 27,1991 while trying to land a heavily damaged OA-10 during Operation Desert Storm. Brunt, who was Olson's crew chief, now works as a technician at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), or the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan AFB, removing parts from decommissioned OA-10s to build inventories used by active A-10 squadrons for maintaining their aircraft.
