LAS VEGAS-- Russell Goodman (in uniform), along with his sisters, Christine and Deborah, look on as members of the Nellis Air Force Base Honor Guard provide a dignified transfer for the remains of their father, Maj. Russell C. Goodman, a U.S. Air Force pilot that was killed in action during the Vietnam War, from a Hawaiian Airlines flight at McCarran International Airport Jan. 12. Major Goodman served as the narrator for the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadon "Thunderbirds" from 1964-65 and was declared missing in action after his aircraft was hit by a surface-to-air missile Feb. 20, 1967, while on a combat mission over North Vietnam. At the time of his loss, Major Goodman was still assigned to the Thunderbirds and was flying with the U.S. Navy on an exchange program. Funeral services for Major Goodman will take place at the Thunderbirds Hangar on Nellis AFB at Jan. 14. He is to be buried in Alaska at a date determined by his family.
