Although she could not confirm whether the victims were members of the military, the T-38 is used by both the Air Force and Navy for training. The Alabama Air National Guard has three main bases across the state located in Birmingham, Dothan and Montgomery.  

She said that military officials based at the same airport had responded to the scene, which is standard procedure.
