CHARLOTTE, N.C. — One of the survivors of a plane crash that killed four North Carolina airmen was promoted Thursday.

Chief Master Sgt. Andrew Huneycutt placed stripes signifying the promotion on Marlow.

Huneycutt and Marlow were the only survivors when their plane crashed while fighting wildfires in South Dakota in July.
