NASA T-38 jet aircraft are flying in a "Missing Man Formation" to conclude the memorial service for the crew of Columbia who were lost on Feb. 1, 2003, over East Texas as they returned to Earth after a 16-day research mission STS-107. The service was held at the Shuttle Landing Facility. Taking part in the service were NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe, former KSC Director Robert Crippen, astronaut Jim Halsell, several employees, area clergymen, and members of Patrick Air Force Base. Crippen was the first to fly Columbia in 1981; Halsell first flew Columbia in 1994 and again in 1997.
