AH-64 Apache helicopters, operated by Capt. Michael Kromenacker, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Orbin Gonzalez, Capt. Bradford Ritzel and 1st Lt. Joshua Keithline with the North Carolina National Guard, perform an aerial salute known as a missing man formation in honor of CW3 Matthew Ruffner and CW2 Jarett Yoder. They then landed on a new helicopter landing pad at Muir Army Airfield that was dedicated to Ruffner and Yoder. Per the request of the Gold Star Families, this was the first time a helicopter landed on the pad.
Ruffner and Yoder were AH-64 Apache pilots who were killed when their helicopter crashed in Afghanistan in 2013.
