LT Richard McBride, USN '84 was lost on January 14, 1992 when the aircraft he was aboard collided with another aircraft and crashed near Corpus Christi, Texas. He was an instructor pilot with Training Squadron (VT) 27.
From the September 1992 issue of "Shipmate":
Born in Houston, Tx., Rich was the son of astronaut Capt. John McBride USN (Ret.) and Brenda (Mrs. John) Edinburgh. He graduated from Clear Creek High School, lettering in football and baseball and setting several standing school athletic records.
At the Academy, Rich was honored to represent his alma mater at West Point in 1982. After graduation, he was a research assistant at NASA in Houston and then entered the Naval Aviation pipeline, earning his wings and assignment in the LAMPS community.
Rich is survived by his wife Lynn; children Megan A. and Richard M., II, who was born 6 April 1992; his parents, a brother Jon; a sister, Melissa Hunt; and his grandparents.
Richard's page on Virtual Memorial Hall includes a long and loving tribute to him from his sister-in-law, whom he never met.
