If this is the Mike Ernst I served with at Pacific Missile Range Facility from 2002-2004, then I know him. We were stationed at Barking Sands on Kauai Island, Hawaii. I had some random memory about Mike the other day and was curious to see how he was doing. This is tragic news for Mike's family. You were my supervisor and one of the sweetest, and most soft-spoken human beings I have ever met. I have memories of standing on the flight line next to Mike while watching the H3's turn up. Mike showed me how to operate the ground support equipment that was used to start the Helo engines. Miked helped me get my JSOY. I'll always remember you Mike. Until we meet again, here's wishing you a happy voyage home. Love you Mike. AE3 Barajas.
