The Pentagon identified on Monday the five special operations aviators who were killed in a training flight crash in the eastern Mediterranean Sea on Friday evening. The soldiers, all assigned to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, were Chief Warrant Officer 3 Stephen R. Dwyer, 38, of Clarksville, Tennessee; Chief Warrant Officer 2 Shane M. Barnes, 34, of Sacramento, California; Staff Sgt. Tanner W. Grone, 26, of Gorham, New Hampshire; Sgt. Andrew P.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Barnes became a UH-60L Black Hawk pilot after graduating with a degree in English literature in 2011 from Gonzaga University. He “excelled” as a platoon leader and pilot in command while in Korea, and then was assigned a platoon in the 160th SOAR in 2016. In 2020, he “fully dedicated himself to the organization” by resigning his commission and becoming a warrant officer, the Army release says.
