A victim of Tuesday's plane crash in Janesville was a "valued member" of the 115th Fighter Wing and a decorated veteran.

Staff Sgt. Remington K. Viney, 26, of Kimberly, was identified by the Rock County Medical Examiner's Office Friday as one of two people who died in the crash about a mile south of the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport shortly before 9:20 a.m. Tuesday. The other victim was Tanner W. Byholm, 25, of Glidden.

"It was no secret that Staff Sgt. Viney had a passion for flying," the 115th Fighter Wing said in a Facebook post.
