Col. Rezk M. Mohamed ll, U.S. Air Force (retired), 78, of Las Vegas, passed away July 30, 2010. He was born April 3, 1932, in Manhattan, N.Y., and was a 48-year resident of Nevada. Known by friends and relatives as "Col Mo" or just simply "Mo," he received numerous citations and awards while serving over 23 years in the U.S. Air Force. Col Mohamed is a graduate of the Nellis Center's USAF Weapons School and has himself flown over 100 missions as F-105 "Thud Driver" over North Vietnam during the Vietnam War . He also had four combat jumps in Vietnam with the U.S. Army Special Forces and Vietnamese Rangers. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal and the Air Medal with Ten Oak Leaf Clusters. Mo's flying career did not end with the Air Force. He was a 47-year member of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). Eventually, he acquired his own Cessna 182 airplane and flew numerous flights with the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary-Civil Air Patrol, where he became commander, Nellis senior Squadron, Las Vegas. He was also the Nevada Wing chief Check Pilot. From the Civil Air Patrol, he again received a multitude of awards, decorations and letters of commendations. He flew numerous search and rescue missions which were credited with nine finds and saving two lives. He also flew counterdrug and border patrol missions along the Arizona/Mexico border. His accumulated flying time with the USAF and CAP as of May 1, 2004 numbered 10,732 hours. Col Mohamed flew too many different types of fighter jets and conventional airplanes to specify. His love of flying, patriotic duty and helping others were always unsurpassed. After military service he also worked for Lockheed and EG&G. He was very active with the Boy Scouts of America receiving the Silver Beaver award. He raised over one million dollars for the Salvation Army in the Las Vegas Fund Drive. He attained a bachelor of (military) science from University of Maryland. Every person loved to be around "Mo." He had the knack of making us all feel in good spirits. Although he lived his last 48 years in Las Vegas and loved it, he always remained a true New Yorker, he loved his Empire State and of course his New York Yankees.

On the American airbase in Soesterberg, he puts on his flight gear and dons his P-4 helmet. Serving with the 32nd Fighter Interceptor Squadron he flies the F-100 Super Sabre. His name is 1th Lt. Rezk Moses Mohamed, coming from Southampton NY, his ancestors lived in Egypt. This was his fourth year in The Netherlands. And he had his share of bad luck twice already. During 1955 and 1956 the 32nd FIS transferred from the F-86F Sabre to the Super Sabre and had three mishap free years in July 1955. In October 1956 he flew his Super Sabre overhead the southern province of North Brabant when his aircraft got engine trouble. He decided to eject and came down unharmed. His plane came down in the Wilhelmina canal near the village of Oosterhout. For Rezk Mohamed, 1957 started out not so well. On January the 28th he started a practice mission out of Eindhoven airbase in, once again, the province of North Brabant. This time he flew a Royal Nether... read more
