(Adel)—Funeral arrangements have been set for an Algona native who was killed in the crash of a military plane last month.
35-year-old Air Force Major Brad Hovey was part of the crew involved in a B-52 plane crash at Edwards Air Force Base in California on June 15th. The aircraft went down shortly after takeoff during a test mission, killing all eight people on board.
According to Major Hovey’s obituary, a public visitation will be held on Thursday, July 16, at New Hope Church in Adel, Iowa. A funeral service for friends and family is scheduled for the following day.
At this time, the cause of the crash remains under investigation by the U.S. Air Force.
