The U.S. Navy has identified the military pilot killed when his A-29 Super Tucano light-attack aircraft crashed Friday.

One of two airmen on board and a member of the 49th Wing at Holloman Air Force Base, Navy Lt. Christopher Carey Short, died Friday when his plane went down during flight demonstrations at Red Rio Bombing Range at the Army’s White Sands Missile Range, a facility located about 65 miles from the Air Force base.
