Governor Hickenlooper Orders Flags to be Flown at Half-Staff
Governor John Hickenlooper has ordered that flags be lowered to half-staff today through Sunday to honor a 30-year-old Air Force pilot from Colorado who was killed when he crashed his F-16 jet in the Middle East.
Capt. William H. "Will" DuBois, of New Castle, died when he crashed near an unidentified coalition base. He was assigned to the 77th Fighter Squadron in South Carolina.
Investigators say the jet developed a problem related to maintenance shortly after takeoff. A memorial service will be held in Rifle on Dec. 14.
