Dear Mr. Kent and Mr. Carlson I´m Michel Lozares, from Spain. Time ago I wrote a book, "Los Aviones del Moncayo" (Moncayo´s aircrafts), published in 2007. One of the crashed aircrafts into this mountain, next to Zaragoza AB, was Capt. Logan´s F-4G. He was killed with Maj. George M Bourque. Two years ago, a guy send us Capt. Logan´s ring, that they found in the crash site area. I contacted Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations and I sent them the ring to be returned to his wife or any relative. They replied that they received the ring, but were looking for any other relative because, sadly his wife Roxanne and parents passed away. I don´t know if they were able to do it, I will try to contact them again. Attached a ring´s photo.
I´m going to publish a 2nd edition of the book and I would like to include a photo and details of Capt. Logan. I have located this photo of him in your website, and I would like to get your permission for to use it, please. I would appreciate so much any other details of Capt. Logan, or photos, please. As in other Moncayo's accidents I have included details of the crew, when I was able to locate them, or relatives. Hope to hear from you, please. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards from Spain
Michel, I have received your request and I am in contact with some fellow classmates regarding your request. I personally have no objection to including the photo in your book, but I am not authorized to make that decision. Since there are no known surviving relatives, I am asking the United States Air Force Academy Alumni Association for their feedback. The picture is hosted on their website, although our own class maintains the content. I hope to have a reply for you soon. Paul Kent
Michel, You have permission from the owner of the files to use both photos; the one on the website and the one attached. The attached photo is Brad Logan's Senior Year (First Class Year) (Final Year) at the United States Air Force Academy. Paul

I was in Brad’s Beast squadron. Do you remember the first few days of BCT when there were only a minimum number of upperclassmen there and we were eating nine Smacks to a table and thinking this was really going to be a great summer? Can’t wait to get to that obstacle course! On Wednesday after the evening meal, if you remember, we formed up in our squadrons and faced the grass portion of the terrazzo where a wooden platform was raised. – Tom Laurie |
