[MilCom] Staff Sgt Matt Maupin (MIA/KIA)

[Steven Kramer]

It's a very sad day here. I am surprised no one has posted about this on here.

I live in Cincy...my calllsign is KR8MR look me up on QRZ if you want.

We just had 4 (prop) war birds did the missing man headed north (to
dayton, OH?) from Matt Maupins funeral in Cincinnati. They flew over
my house in West chester, OH it was around 10:30 local the gates at
the balpark haven't yet opened. These guys were not expected ..nor
published. There will be more flybys in 3 hours. I am hoping that
Springfield or Toledo ANG (F16's) will show.

I forget how to check but I bet the military has closed the area
during the 2:04 time slot when these private pilots were planning to
go through so the four of them did their fly over earlier.

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to tell if/when airspace is closed for
military training or homeland security?

Matt's flag draped coffin will be at great american (Cincinnati REDS)
ball park today from 1 until 2:03 when there will be another
"warbirds" flyby.
I think he was the first captured in the war and missing for four years.

Please check out www.enquirer.com
There is speculation that GWB will be there but he has stated so as
not to slight anyone of the 4000+ other's killed in this war. He will
NOT be there.
Instead he is sending his chief of staff from Indian Hill (cincy) to
the funeral. tens of thousands are expected to be there.

Thousands have already filed past his coffin in his hometown just East
of Cincinnati.

Matt arrived with his brother standing guard on a hawker jet Sat around 6 am

His family has waited for FOUR YEARS for his return.
