  "We don't want grieving to get in the (way) of flying," said Capt. John Puckett, public affairs officer for the 181st Fighter Wing in Terre Haute.
  
  Maj. Thomas R. Sims, of Indianapolis, a 1986 graduate of Perry Meridian High School, parachuted to safety after the collision.He was treated and released from Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes on Monday.
  
  A day after the accident, investigators searched for evidence as Burchett's family prepared for the funeral of a deeply spiritual pilot whose call sign was "Padre."Known for playing basketball and the trumpet, he was remembered as a doting father to sons Eric, 6, and Sam, 2.He would have celebrated his 10th wedding anniversary with his wife, Debbie, on Friday.
  ...
  In such cases, said Puckett, the 181st spokesman, an Air Force investigation board conducts the review.
  
  Officials recover any available evidence, Puckett said, including the black boxes present in every aircraft.

  "We hope to have everyone home by Easter," Capt. John Puckett said from Terre Haute on Sunday afternoon.
  
  The problem began with normal complications of scheduling airlift for the troops from Turkey where they have been stationed since January.
  
  The members will arrive in differing numbers and times throughout the coming week and the 181st Fighter Wing will be calling family members of returning members once their flight information is confirmed.
  
  "We may have to send two or three home at a time, just as space on flights become available," Puckett explained.
  
  The 181st personnel is telling family members that everything possible is being done to return them home soon to their families.
  
  The troops left Jan. 30 for a rotation to support "Operation Northern Watch" and were called to active duty shortly after setting up in Turkey.Their mission was completed since last month's launch of "Operation Iraqi Freedom."
  
  This week's return marks the completion of the third time the 181st Fighter Wing "Racers" have supported "Operation Northern Watch," and the fifth time the Wing has deployed overseas to support the no-fly zone.

  Capt. John Puckett confirmed Thursday afternoon the troops would be arriving at the Indianapolis International Airport as early as 8 p.m. today.He said late Friday morning that the soldiers may not arrive until late Saturday.
  
  "Their mission is completed and they are on their way home," Puckett said.
  
  The 181st were deployed Jan. 30 to Turkey with the assignment of Operation Northern Watch.It was their job to patrol the no-fly zone over northern Iraq.
  
  "That has been canceled because of the war.Their mission is complete," Puckett said.
  
  Puckett noted that all of the members of the Fighter Wing are scheduled to come home.
  
  ...
  Puckett said most of the troops will get their bags at the airport and then head home from Indianapolis.Some will be going to Terre Haute and leaving from the base.
  
  In early May the 181st is planning a time to honor the troops and recognize them for their outstanding efforts, according to Puckett.

  Capt. John Puckett of the Air National Guard said the information is just rumors at this point because he has not received official word on their return.However, he acknowledged that information the families are receiving may be correct.
  
  "My gut feeling is that we won't know until the last minute.Those guys will know before we do.They are at the tip of the spear," Puckett said.
