Robert William Conners served in the U.S. Air Force for 7 years and 5 months. Robert served during the years of the Vietnam War and the Cold War.
Special Agent Robert Conners, Special Agent Michael Lynch, Special Agent Terry Hereford, and Special Agent Charles Ellington were killed in an aircraft crash while on approach to Cincinnati's Lunken Airport near Montgomery, Ohio. The agents were accompanying a bank fraud suspect and his lawyer to Cincinnati during an investigation. When the plane was approximately 11 miles from Lunken Airport its altimeter indicated false readings, leading the pilots to believe they were at a higher altitude. As a result, the plane struck a set of power lines and crashed, killing all aboard. The plane was being piloted by Special Agent Conners and Special Agent Hereford when it crashed. Special Agent Conners was a U.S. Air Force veteran and had served with the FBI for four years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Special Agent Conners served with the United States Department of Justice.
Thank you for your service. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
