This undated file photo released by NASA shows STS-107 crew members in their group photo. Space Shuttle Columbia crew, left to right, front row, Rick Husband, Kalpana Chawla, William McCool, back row, David Brown, Laurel Clark, Michael Anderson and Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon are shown in this undated crew photo. The Israeli military says an F-16 warplane has crashed during a routine flight over the West Bank, killing the pilot. Military officials identified the dead pilot as Assaf Ramon, son of the late Ilan Ramon, Israel's first astronaut. Ilan Ramon was one of the seven crew members killed in 2003 when Columbia exploded just minutes before it was scheduled to land. (AP Photo/NASA, File)
