Services Planned For Hudson, NH Air Force Officer Killed In Afghanistan

HUDSON, N.H. (AP) — Services have been scheduled for an Air Force officer from New Hampshire who was killed in a plane crash in Afghanistan. A wake for Capt. Ryan Phaneuf, of Hudson, is planned for Friday, Feb. 28 at Saint Kathryn Church from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. A funeral is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 29, at 10 a.m. at the church.

The Pentagon said Phaneuf, 30, was one of two Air Force officers killed in a crash last month of an electronic surveillance plane in Afghanistan. The crash is under investigation, but officials have said there's no indication the plane was downed by hostile action.

Phaneuf was assigned to the 37th Bomb Squadron at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota. In New Hampshire, he graduated in 2007 from Alvirne High School, where he was a member of the junior ROTC program.
