David P. Cooley was a 1982 Air Force Academy graduate whose distinguished career included his assignment to the 445th Flight Test Squadron at Edwards Air Force Base. Lt. Colonel Cooley performed flight tests in the F-15, F-117, and RU-38. Following his retirement from the Air Force he joined the Lockheed Martin Corporation where he was a test pilot in the F-22 Raptor program. On 3/25/09 David Cooley was flying F-22A 91-4008 through a high speed, high performance series of test maneuvers. While he was attempting to recover from a high g dive David Cooley ejected, but tragically it was outside of the ejection seat design envelope, and he was killed. In the Fall of 2013 members of the Project Remembrance Team visited the crash site of 91-4008 to pay their respects to the service and sacrifice of David P. Cooley. During the site visit Tony Accurso, joined by his daughter Evelyn, flew a radio controlled F-22 Raptor model saluting the memory of Lieutenant Colonel Cooley.
