The 16 SOS honored the crew by performing live fire training at the Spirit live fire range at Melrose Air Force Range, conducted a memorial flyover at Cannon, and held a remembrance brief after the flights detailing the story of the aircrew and advancements made as a result of the loss of Spirit 03.
