The service honored Col. James E. Dennany and Maj. Robert L. Tucci, who were reported missing in action after their F-4 went down during a mission over Laos Nov. 12, 1969. "It was the first fly-by in which I participated that honored specific persons, said Maj. Jay Bernstein, a 457th Fighter Squadron F-16 pilot stationed at Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, Texas. "To know that our efforts were in honor of a particular aircrew was very special," he said.
