2002 Lt. Col. Duane 'Digger' Carey - AMA member and Space Shuttle pilot who carried the AMA flag into space
An aerospace engineer and former military test pilot, Duane Carey is piloting the space shuttle Columbia's Hubble servicing mission on his first flight into space. Carey is also shooting video and still pictures on the mission and serving as one of two mission medics.
