Please take a moment to remember our fellow 126th Air Refueling Wing team mates and 928th Tactical Airlift Group Airmen that passed away in an aircraft crash 40 years ago, March 19, 1982.
The wing is participating in a Day of Remembrance at the Wonder Lake, Illinois, Fire Department Two, tomorrow, March 19. Lunch is at 11:30 a.m., where the name of each service member lost in the crash will be read. Following lunch, weather permitting, the service will move to near the site of the crash which will include a flyover by the 126th Air Refueling Wing.
March 19, 1982, an Illinois Air National Guard 126th Air Refueling Wing KC-135 tanker exploded in a thunderstorm and crashed from a height of 13,000 feet. Four 126th ARW crew members and 23 passengers were aboard. There were no survivors. The 23 passengers were reservists serving with the 928th Tactical Airlift Group, an Air Force Reserve unit then based at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
