Wayne County Sheriff Chuck Moseley told&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wjcl.com\/article\/pilot-killed-small-plane-crash-wayne-county\/43533321\" target=\"_blank\">WJCL-TV<\/a>&nbsp;that the pilot had been identified as <a href=\"https:\/\/valor.militarytimes.com\/hero\/56622\" target=\"_blank\">Howard Wasdin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wasdin was a chiropractor in the county seat of Jesup. Before that, he served in the Navy as a member of the elite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/breaking-news\/2021\/12\/26\/richard-marcinko-first-commanding-officer-of-seal-team-six-dies\/\" target=\"_blank\">SEAL Team 6<\/a>. In 2011, Wasdin co-authored a memoir about his military service titled \u201cSEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howardwasdin.com\/full-howard-bio\" target=\"_blank\">According to his website<\/a>, Wasdin served 12 years in the Navy, including nine years as a SEAL.
