Charles Crumlett, 25, of Streamwood, Illinois, died around noon local time Friday, while working on an F-22 Raptor, the Air Force said. Crumlett, who died at the scene, served as a weapons load crew chief and had previously worked on F-15 Strike Eagles and the A-10 Thunderbolt II.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/airforcetimes\/news\/your-air-force\/2024\/03\/14\/us-japanese-forces-to-resume-osprey-flights-in-japan-after-crash\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8154970.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US, Japanese forces to resume Osprey flights in Japan after crash<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Osprey flights in Japan will temporarily be limited to areas around their bases in an apparent effort to address local safety concerns.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday, the Dicemen mourn the loss of one of our own,\u201d Lt. Col. Charles Bayne, 90th FGS commander, said in a statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Losing Crumlett\u2019s \u201cdrive and willingness to help his fellow maintainers is a loss for the entire maintenance community,\u201d Bayne said. \u201cThough he was only with us a short time, Charlie will always be a Diceman. We send our thoughts and prayers to his family, friends, and the entire maintenance community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is investigating the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crumlett enlisted on Nov. 29, 2016, and graduated as a weapons load crew member on Jan. 30, 2017. His first duty station was Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, and he arrived in Alaska on February 4, where he began working on Raptors, his father, Mike Crumlett, told Air Force Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"581\" height=\"629\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_1679.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_1679.jpg.jpg 581w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_1679.jpg.jpg?resize=277,300 277w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Crumlett. (Photo courtesy of Tami Crumlett)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had also spent a little more than a year at Osan Air Force Base, Korea, before arriving in Alaska, where he looked forward to going snowboarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crumlett was the second of five children in a tight-knit family. Like many young people, he hated cleaning his room and homework, his father said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the future airman emerged as a natural leader, graduating at the top of his basic military training class and becoming the sort who took initiative to show others how to get things done. He loved to tinker with things, including the old Dodge Ram pickup Mike Crumlett gave to his son when he headed off to Seymour Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe liked building things,\u201d Mike Crumlett said. \u201cHe liked fixing things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crumlett wrestled in high school, and enjoyed reading, particularly J.R.R. Tolkien, who wrote \u201cThe Hobbit\u201d and \u201cThe Lord of the Rings.\u201d He also filled notebook after notebook with adventure, fantasy and science fiction stories of his own. He \u201cjust always had a story in his head,\u201d Mike Crumlett said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a big loss,\u201d Mike Crumlett said. \u201cIt\u2019s not just a big loss just because he\u2019s my son, but there\u2019s so much about him that I\u2019d have loved to seen him be able to develop and be able to experience. It\u2019s, again, kind of like reading the book and waiting for the next chapter to come out. He had a lot going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crumlett is survived by his father; mother, Tami Crumlett, brothers Collin, Joseph, Bob, and a sister, Shannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 3rd Wing paused operations on Friday, Erin Eaton, a spokesperson for the base, told Air Force Times. The 90th and 525th Fighter Generation Squadrons and the 90th and 525th Fighter Squadrons stood down Monday in the airman\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are committed to making sure our airmen have time to grieve as well as ensure their safety when we do resume work later this week,\u201d Eaton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Col. Christopher Tooman, 3rd Maintenance Group commander, called the death a tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCharlie\u2019s dedication and support to his fellow maintainers will be deeply missed,\u201d Tooman said in a statement. \u201cWe send our deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and all the airmen whose lives Charlie touched.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crumlett\u2019s awards and decorations include two Air and Space Commendation Medals and one Air Force Achievement Medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCharlie had such a promising future in our Air Force,\u201d 3rd Wing commander Col. Kevin Jamieson said. \u201cThough he was new to JBER, it was immediately clear that Charlie had a passion for his duty and for service. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and fellow airmen. He will be greatly missed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staff Sgt.
