For those interested in info on the F-22 crash today, the pilot unfortunately didnt make it. LtCol (Ret) David Cooley USAF, AKA "Cools" call sign Dagger 2 for the F117A. Was a great pilot and commander. Also a very good friend of mine.

Dale,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and also someone who chose to serve his country. :usa:
Cools must have been one hell of a pilot to be chosen to fly both the F-22 and the F117A.

I had heard about the crash yesterday, I just assumed the pilot ejected. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Our country has lost a talented pilot.

Yes, Colonel Cooley was a Lockheed Martin test pilot. It's a high-risk job, and my thoughts go to his family.

I am sorry to hear about LtCol (Ret) David Cooley's passing. As we all know being a test pilot is very dangerous by its nature. He was a great pilot to be allowed to test and fly both the F-22 and F-117A. We have done work on both of those aircraft so it hits close to home...Our prayers are for him and his family.
