跟进：空军士兵Alamodome索降表演坠亡 父亲首次发声：他去年就想参加
圣安东尼奥——10 月 17 日（周六）在阿拉莫穹顶体育馆（Alamodome）举行的得克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校（UTSA）对阵海军队橄榄球赛赛前表演中，从穹顶索降时坠亡的美国空军士兵身份已确认为技术军士伊恩·"帕蒂"·帕特森（33 岁）。他的父亲约翰·帕特森 10 月 22 日首次接受采访，谈及儿子生前对这次表演的期待。
据《纽约邮报》10 月 22 日报道，帕特森隶属第 6 作战训练中队第 2 分遣队（驻圣安东尼奥联合基地，该中队总部在内华达州内利斯空军基地），是一名战术空中管制组（TACP）教官，曾获评 2022 年度空军特种作战年度教官（士兵组），拥有 15 年空军资历。事发时，他试图从室内体育馆约 170 英尺高的穹顶索降至场地，途中似失去对下降的控制而坠落；现场急救约 10 分钟后被送医，不治身亡。
父亲约翰·帕特森在接受 WDRB 与 WAVE 采访时说："我非常激动。我相信他去年也想参加……所以今年他有了这个机会。"内利斯空军基地 10 月 18 日确认了帕特森的身份；第 57 联队指挥官斯科特·C·米尔斯准将发表声明悼念。军方调查仍在进行。（GSM 据《纽约邮报》、美军方声明）
Follow-Up: Air Force Tech Sgt. Ian Patterson Remembered by Father After Fatal Alamodome Rappelling Fall
SAN ANTONIO — The U.S. airman who died after falling during a pregame rappelling demonstration at the Alamodome before the University of Texas at San Antonio's football game against Navy on Saturday, October 17, has been identified as Technical Sergeant Ian "Patty" Patterson, 33. His father, John Patterson, spoke publicly for the first time in interviews published October 22, recalling his son's eagerness for the performance.
The New York Post reported on October 22 that Patterson served with the 6th Combat Training Squadron, Detachment 2, at Joint Base San Antonio — the squadron is headquartered at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada — as a Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) instructor who had been named the 2022 Air Force Special Warfare Enlisted Instructor of the Year, with 15 years of Air Force service. He attempted to rappel from the indoor stadium's ceiling, about 170 feet above the field, appeared to lose control of his descent and fell; medics treated him at the scene for about 10 minutes before he was taken to a hospital, where he died.
"I was very excited. I believe he wanted to do it last year as well…So this year he had the opportunity," his father John Patterson told WDRB and WAVE. Nellis Air Force Base confirmed Patterson's identity on October 18, and 57th Wing Commander Brig. Gen. Scott C. Mills issued a statement mourning him. A military investigation is ongoing.
