U.S. Navy Airman Brian E. Buchanan, a 2002 graduate of Chaparral
High School in Parker, and his fellow crew members aboard the
aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, homeported in Norfolk, Va.,
recently helped launch the ship’s first precision-guided munitions
attack since the start of the year.
Two F/A-18 Hornets from Strike Fighter Squadron 86 deployed from
the Enterprise to attack an enemy mortar position near Balad, Iraq,
north of Baghdad, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
