Flags At Half Staff Today In Escambia County For Fallen Airman

October 14, 2015

Flags in Escambia County will be at half-staff today in honor of Air Force Senior Airman Nathan C. Satain of Pensacola. Sartain, 29, lost his life in support of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel when his C-130 aircraft crashed in Afghanistan on October 2, 2015. He was assigned to the 66th Security Forces Squadron of Massachusetts.

Funeral services for Sartain, a graduate of Pensacola High School, were held today at the Naval Aviation Memorial Chapel with burial at Barrancas National Cemetery with full military honors.

While deployed to Afghanistan, the 66th performed fly-away security team, better known as FAST, missions, meaning they flew on aircraft and were protecting the aircraft itself, the aircrew, passengers, and cargo, as these aircraft flew from one location to another.
