Would anyone know about his family. I was a Staubs and had a cousin named John. I was wondering if this might be him. The age sounds about right. His family would have been in Virginia.

John was a squadron-mate at USAFA. He was my Element Leader in CS21, 1973-74. Sorry to hear of his passing. RIP, "brother."

I served with Johnny in the Maryland Army National Guard for several years, and did overseas deployments with him in 1999 and 2001.  John served as our UH-1H maintenance test pilot and as an operational aviator in El Salvador, and was a UH-60L test pilot in Bosnia.  He was a consummate professional in the cockpit, and a humorous, knowledgeable and intellectual friend on the ground.  Although his abilities were diminished by the severe injuries he suffered in the Iraq War, he was still among the brightest and best people I knew.  I pray he now enjoys comfort and peace.
