Default Shocking - 747 freighter crash.

This is from an ATP friend of mine...

================================================== =====

From the weekly union email:

Tragedy struck this week, as Flight NCR102, a National Airlines
B747-400 cargo plane, crashed on takeoff from Bagram Airbase in
Afghanistan on April 29. There were seven crewmembers on board.
Unfortunately, none survived.

This event hit close to home – Rinku Summan, a furloughed Mesa pilot
based in ORD, was one of the crewmembers on board. He is survived by
his wife, Rajnit, who is also a former Mesa pilot, and their son,
Adarsh. Our thoughts and prayers are with them, as well as their
friends, and the family members and friends of all those on board.
Those who wish to write a message of support to the Summon family or
provide a financial contribution to the Rinku Summan Memorial Fund may
