NASA Astronaut and EA-6B pilot Navy Commander William C. McCool, was the pilot of the Space Shuttle Columbia when it broke apart before landing in February 2003. Members of the Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron-2 recently paused to honor McCool and their unit's history during Camp McCool's closing ceremony at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Aug. 8, 2012. The ceremony reminded the camp's final residents of its brief-but-important nine-year history. The camp was the site of an insurgent attack on Bagram in 2009. The camp was named in honor of Commander McCool, fellow EA-6B Prowler pilot, and pilot of the Space Shuttle Columbia's ill-fated STS-107 (NASA photo/John Ira Petty)
