As of May 2024, 47 of the 52 service members have been identified. Great care is taken for the safe recovery of human remains, personal effects and equipment at the crash site. Consideration for surviving family members of those recovered is a top priority in the recovery of remains at the site. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Don Hudson)
