Airman dies during training

  • Published
An Airman collapsed while participating in aerospace physiology training at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., and was pronounced dead by Bay Medical Center officials near the base April 1.

Tech. Sgt. David Gressett is an AC-130H Spectre gunner assigned to the 16th Special Operations Squadron here. He had received the training in 1994, and again in 1996 and 1999 for refresher courses.

The 325th Medical Group’s aerospace physiology flight at Tyndall trains more than 1,800 students annually.

A board of officers will investigate the incident. (Courtesy of Air Force Special Operations Command News Service)
