★★★ Memorial Monday ★★★
LCDR William Muscha, USN '87 was lost on May 8, 2002 when the T-39 training aircraft he was aboard crashed into the Gulf of Mexico, likely after colliding with another. William was an instructor. Six other men were killed, including John Wilt '00.
William's plebe roommate remembered, "He came from Fargo with his violin case and a dream to be a Navy pilot. He was a great American who was taken from us way too soon."
In the Lucky Bag: "After graduation, Bill will put his aero ability to work as an NFO, and hopefully land in the space program. When I reminisce about "my Academy days," the first person who will come to mind will be my friend and roommate, Bill Muscha. I don't think I'll ever forget Bill's warm, friendly, often mischievous grin, and his loyal friendship during the glory years of 7th Company. Thanks for everything, Bill!"
William was survived by his wife, their six children, his parents, and his sister.
To Honor! ⚓
