It's with a heavy heart I write to you this morning. One of the pilots, my friend and former colleague, Lt Col (R) Miles "Vicky" Middleton was one of the two Boeing employees on the MA yesterday.
Lt Col Middleton was a graduate of USAF TPS class 05B and former commander of the 419th FLTS. He is survived by his wife Pam and two children.
I worked side by side with Vicky for two years. He was the best of the best. He always had a quick wit and deep technical knowledge of the BUFF and flight test procedure.
It deeply greaves me that his family lost their husband and father. The family has set up a Go Fund Me that I will link in the comments.
Please keep Pam and the children in your prayers.
Calm. Cool. Collected. Named everyone else on his crew. Said “anyone else would have done the same,” and then saved close to 200 people. A truly humble professional and hero.
I hope this man gets every good thing he deserves.
