原文：

A Coast Guard officer has been identified as one of two service members who died on Oct. 23 in the crash of a T-6B Texan II trainer in Alabama. The other person killed was a Navy instructor pilot—Navy Lt. Rhiannon Ross, 30, of Wixom, Michigan.

Ross was flying with Coast Guard Ensign Morgan Garrett, a 24-year-old student aviator. Ross and Garrett had taken off from Naval Air Station Whiting Field, Milton, Florida, on a routine training flight. Their T-6B crashed in a residential area at about 5 p.m., striking two cars and a house.

Ross earned her commission in April 2012. Before joining the Florida-based Training Squadron Two in February 2018, she served three years with Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 26 out of Norfolk, Virginia.
