34-year-old Major David Yaggy and 23-year-old 2nd Lt. Alexander Prezioso were members of Training Squadron SIX at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Florida.
The two Marines were on a training flight Friday in a two-seat T-34C Turbomentor. The plane crashed into the side of Chandler Mountain, about
60 miles northeast of Birmingham, around 3:45 p.m.
Yaggy was a native of Sparks, Maryland and a combat decorated UH-1N Huey pilot with ten Air Medals and a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with combat "V".
Prezioso was a native of Lake Worth, Florida and a 2006 graduate of Embry Riddle University. He was a student in primary flight training at Whiting Field and had been a member of the Marines for nearly two years.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
