Capt. Durwood Hawk Jones, 37, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, pictured here with his family, lost his life during an F-16 crash in Michigan s Upper Peninsula Dec. 8.
MADISON, Wis. The Wisconsin Air National Guard released the name Friday of a fighter pilot who was killed Tuesday when the F-16 he was flying crashed in the Hiawatha National Forest and commended both the Delta County Sheriff’s Office and the Michigan State Police for their assistance handling the tragedy.
Air Force Capt. Durwood “Hawk” Jones, 37, of Albuquerque, N.M., was identified as the pilot Friday afternoon, following a mandatory 24-hour waiting period after the notification of next of kin that is required by the Department of Defense. Jones is survived his wife and two children.
Van Roo said Friday the 115th Fighter Wing has temporarily suspended its regular flying operations.
The crash was reported at about 8 p.m. Tuesday and emergency responders did not locate Jones body until Thursday.
At the press conference Friday, Van Roo declined to provide any details on the crash or what preceded it, citing an open investigation. He also declined to say whether Jones ejected himself from the aircraft prior to the crash.
It may take more than a year to determine the cause of the crash, Van Roo said.
In 1995, a similar jet from Madison crashed on a wooded hilltop after its engine failed and the pilot safely ejected.
