Howard Wasdin was killed in a plane crash on Thursday, April 6, 2023 just off the runway at Wayne County’s William A. Zorn Airport. Piloting the plane, he was killed along with his dog. Returning from Fernandina Beach, Florida, Wasdin was attempting to land the plane.

Dr. Howard E. Wasdin served as a member of SEAL Team SIX. After graduating with BUD/S Class 143, he later became a top sniper with SEAL Team SIX. For his actions in “Operation Gothic Serpent” in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993, he was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States, and the Purple Heart for injuries sustained in action. In that conflict, he was wounded three times and nearly lost his right leg. Howard served in the US Navy for twelve years, nine of which were as part of the SEAL Teams. After twelve years, he was medically discharged due to the injuries he sustained in Mogadishu.

I had my third parachute malfunction two months before I got out - and called it right then.

Cigarette roll, one Mae West, and one total malfunction.

Figured eventually my reserve might fail . . .

So now I actually LAND in aircraft. A whole new experience.
