Eight dedicated personnel went to work on June 15th at Edwards Air Force Base to perform a routine test on a radar modernization project they were working on for the B-52 Bomber. Soon after take-off, a tragic accident happened that claimed the lives of all eight onboard. None of them ever returned home to their families; among them was Christopher " Hustler" Rischar. Christopher was a respected and talented Test Director and Weapon Systems Integration Engineer who worked at Edwards for about 10 years. He was a 3rd generation employee on base, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather and sharing their love of aircraft. Christopher married the love of his life in 2009. He and his wife Rebecca have two amazing children. His parents are both natives of the Antelope Valley that have worked and served others here, all of their lives. Sometimes when a tragedy happens, we say to ourselves "I wish I could do something to help". If you want to help a family that has just lost their husband, father and the rock of their family your donation would be appreciated and used wisely to support Christopher's family. Christopher was a contractor, and his family will not be receiving the same benefits that a government employee would receive. These funds would mean a lot to his family facing an uncertain future without him.
