HONOLULU -- The Air Force said all six crew members aboard a B-52 bomber that crashed Monday off Guam were killed.

An announcement from Andersen Air Force Base on Guam said a wide search effort has shifted focus from rescue to recovery of the aircrew.

Two bodies have been found. The Air Force has released the name of only one crew member so far: 33-year-old Maj. Christopher Cooper of Austin, Texas.

The crew was based at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. Flags are being flown at half-staff at the Louisiana state Capitol to honor them.

The unarmed bomber was making a swing around the island as part of Guam Liberation Day celebrations marking liberation of the island from Japan in World War II.

TV5 has confirmed one of the six airmen who went missing after a B-52 bomber went down near Guam is a Mid-Michigan native.

Two bodies have since been recovered and rescue crews report seeing fuel in the water and pieces of debris believed to have belonged to the bomber.

1st Lt. Robert Gerren, 32, is a Gladwin native. He moved to Bay City after graduating from Saginaw Valley State University.

Gerren graduated from Gladwin High School in 1994 and participated in hockey, football and track.

At least three airmen have been confirmed dead in the Monday crash, and their names have not been released.

Gerren had been stationed in Pensacola, Fl., Shrievport, La., and San Antonio, Texas during his tour with the Air Force.

B-52s have been the backbone of the Air Force since their introduction in 1955.

From a high of over 740 planes in the arsenal during the Cold War, the Air Force now operates 93 units.
