In Memoriam: Mark McCarthy

Saturday, May 25th, 2019


A Lancer out of sight
Never out of mind
(republished from the LAFA website)

Captain Mark P. McCarthy, 31, was performing a training mission over the Adriatic Sea when his F16C crashed at 8:40 a.m. Jan. 26, 1995 approximately 60 miles east of the Italian city of Comacchio.

The 1985 U.S. Air Force Academy graduate served as the 510th FS’s assistant operations officer.

The nine-year Air Force veteran’s decorations include the Air Medal, Aerial Achievement Medal with one oak leaf cluster, Air Force Commendation Medal with one oak leaf cluster and the Air Force Achievement Medal.
McCarthy is survived by his father and mother, retired Air Force Gen. James P. and Alice M. McCarthy, from Monument, Colorado; and his wife, Patti, and three children, Bryan, David and Christina.

Dress Code: Whatever!

Saturday, October 1st, 2016

The big party is just a few hours away and you might be wondering, “what should I wear?” Just as we did for our 30-Year we want to keep it simple for our 35-Year Reunion: the dress code is to wear whatever you want! Join us sporting your best jeans or impress us with a tux, ball gown or mini skirt. Just wear clothes because we don’t want to attract unwanted attention from the wedding party next door. Ladies – you might want to bring a pair of late-night slippers to give your feet a break after standing around in those fancy shoes. Guys, too, I guess… just don’t bring your stinky slippers!
