The goal of this project is to document the lives of the people lost both in the plane and on the ground from the crash of the KC-135 on the morning of Saturday 16 January 1965, in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas.

Right now this project just has one member, me. I am Michelle Enke.

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

  • List the names of those who died (DONE)
  • Create profiles
  • Develop profiles
  • Connect profiles to the big tree

Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in G2G using the project tag, or send me a private message. Thanks!
