December, 1985, Arrow Air flight 1285 crashed Shortly after takeoff in Gander, Newfoundland with a loss of 248 members of the 101st Airborne Division and 8 crew. The division set about putting together a detachment to be at Dover AFB to receive the bodies. I'm the PFC first from the left and the SP4 on the other back corner is John Chenault from Indiana. The top picture is of the first casket off of the plane heading toward the hangar and the second picture is from inside the hangar, where a memorial service was held. Chenault and I went to basic together and remained friends during our time at Campbell. We spent the majority of our time wondering if we were carrying PV2 Melvin Reed from Tacoma, WA, who also was in our platoon for basic. I was roster number 336, Reed was 334.
