Air Force Senior Airman Loncki was assigned to the 775th Civil Engineer Squadron, Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Loncki was killed by a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device. The bomb exploded in the town of Al Mahmudiyah. A car appeared in front of a compound gate and the explosives team was sent to check it out. As they approached the vehicle, the bomb was remotely detonated.
Recipient of a Bronze Star.
Liz was a 2001 graduate of Padua Academy in Wilmington, Delaware where she played volleyball and was honored as one of her class' most valuable athletes. She briefly attended the University of Arizona before enlisting in the Air Force in March 2003. Liz chose to join the military because she wanted to contribute to the country. She graduated from Eglin AFB/Naval Tech Explosive Ordnance Disposal School in February 2004 and deployed to Iraq on September 27, 2006. Driven by a competitive spirit, she was a 5-foot-5 dynamo who would do 51 "real" push-ups to her father's 50, played volleyball, basketball and softball. She enjoyed rock music and swimming. Liz last spoke to her family on Christmas and was due home in 20 days. For Christmas, her dad got her a pen that delivers an electric shock to users. She used it on her commander and was probably the only person who could get away with it because of her sweet smile and disposition.
In addition to her parents, Loncki is survived by a 10-year-old sister. Funeral arrangements are pending.
