TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — A memorial ceremony for Lt. Scot Ames Jr., a 2018 graduate of ISU, will be streamed live at 3:50 p.m. Thursday from Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi.
Ames, 24, an Air Force instructor pilot, and a trainee from the Japanese Air Self Defense Force were killed last Friday when their T-38 plane crashed near Montgomery Regional Airport in Alabama.
Ames married Audra Dial, also a 2018 ISU graduate, last June.
“My heart goes out to all the ISU students, faculty, and staff sharing in this loss,” Lt. Col. David A. Sulhoff, ISU professor of Aerospace Studies and Commander of Air Force ROTC, said. “Lt. Ames was a man of character who clearly left an indelible and positive impression on so many.”
