This site honors Wichita State University football players, athletic staff and team boosters who lost their lives when their plane crashed in Colorado while en route to Utah for a game with Utah State University on October 2, 1970.

The Wichita State University Memorial Observance Ceremony is held every year on October 2nd at the Memorial on the Wichita State University Campus. See Announcement/News for more information on what is planned for October 2nd events.

The website has been created for those to share stories, re-connect and pay tribute to our fallen friends. It is our intent to keep this site active.

If anyone has news to share and would like to email the members, please use the Contact Us button to send the information to an administrator of the site. We can send it out in a mass email to those for which we have email addresses.
