ENS Gregory McMichael, USN '86 was lost on April 15, 1987 when the T-34C he was piloting crashed during his "safe-for-solo" flight check near Chumuckla, Florida. His instructor was also killed. They were members of Training Squadron (VT) 2.
An '87 alumni remembered Greg: "One [Naval Academy Preparatory School] platoon-mate who stood out was Greg. Greg was a short, stocky, powerfully-built black dude straight outta Brooklyn, NY (he graduated from the renowned Erasmus Hall High School in Flatbush, where he was a star wrestler). At that point in my life, I'd never known anyone who was actually from New York (much less Brooklyn), and as such I always assumed (misguidedly) that anyone from there must be a gang member or some sort of badass. Greg WAS a badass, but in a different way. He carried himself with calm dignity and good humor, and while he wasn't an academic genius per se, he had an innate sense of intelligence that surpassed even the smartest students there. …
"Greg probably never knew how much I looked up to him - shoot, nobody talked about stuff like that, especially in their late teens and twenties; it would have seemed sort of weird. And besides, back then, it didn't need to be said - we were young, and were going to live forever, so there was plenty of time for that later. And now, it's far too late to tell him so. To me, he's not just a name on a plaque on a wall, but someone I knew and admired, and will always remember."
A company-mate added: "An absolute class act, Greg was both comical and intense in a unique mix that just worked. As someone who was eternally at the bottom of the PE classes, I was able to enjoy being able to do one (and only one!) sport better than Greg – swimming. Greg swam like a helicopter flies – by beating the water into submission. But, like everything else in his life, he overcame that, too."

Kennedy (CV 67), operating in the Atlantic Ocean north of Puerto Rico. Four others aboard were also killed; they were members of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 126.
From the December 1992 edition of Shipmate:
Tris truly loved the Navy and being a Naval Aviator. His extensive correspondence with friends and family let us join him on his many adventures which ranged from serving in the Mediterranean immediately after Desert Storm to "touring" the single malt distilleries of Scotland. Never one to shun hard work or a good time, Tris was a good and devoted friend to all who knew him. He was one of a kind, the kind of person we will all remember fondly. He returned frequently to his house on Barter's Island in Trevett, Maine, to tend his traditional British rose garden and care for the family's Newfoundland dogs. Though not a "Mainer" by birth, he was proud beyond measure of his adopted state and its people and profoundly grateful for their support and encouragement during his naval career. The grief and sadness of his death overwhelms those of us who were fortunate to have our lives touched by Tris. We cannot measure the loss of Tris's presence now; it will only be fully known as we think of all the things that he did that we miss. He was so much to so many people.
Lt. Farmer, born in New York City 27 May 1966, lived in New York, Massachusetts and Maine. He graduated from St. Mark's School in Southborough, Mass., before entering the Naval Academy with the Class of 1988. Tristram was a member of the 20th Company. While at the Academy Tris, a history major, was Fourth Battalion Operations Officer, a winner of the National Society, Colonial Daughters of the Seventeenth Century History Prize, Biographies Editor of the 1988 Lucky Bag, Production Editor of the Trident Calendar, President of the History Club, a member of Phi Alpha Theta, and a connoisseur of fine wines.
After commissioning Tris attended flight school in Pensacola and, upon earning his Wings of Gold as a Naval Flight Officer, he was assigned to Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 122. He served aboard the aircraft carrier FORRESTAL, taking part in operations supporting Kurdish refugees in Iraq in the aftermath of the Persian Gulf War. He was transferred to Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 126 in May 1992. Lt. Farmer was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal, Joint Meritorious Unit Award, National Defense Service Medal and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.
Tris is survived by his mother, Enid Farmer of Trevett, Maine; and his brothers Thomas of Arlington, Va., and Terence of Northfield, Mass.
