This offset cache is in Honor of Black Knight 732, an H-3
Helicopter that crashed here on 22 Mar 1978, at 1245. It was dash
two and was returning from a successful Combat Rescue Training
Mission in Dixie Valley.
LT Reynolds, LT Labarre, AW2 Hart, AWAN Jacobs, and AOAN
Staggers all lost there lives. Airman Staggers was not normally
part of the crew, but because he had been named the "Plane Captain
of the Month" he was allowed to fly on this flight to see what all
his hard work was for.
On a personal note, Monty Wolf and I had heard of this memorial
in the early Nineties and thought we would go to find it. The
spooky thing was, we arrived there at 1245 on the 22nd of
March.
The coordinates are for the memorial, drop a way point of your
own and proceed 004 degrees magnetic for 401 feet.
Look for a .50 cal ammo can.
Please bring some appropriate flowers for the memorial, my
multi-colored ones are all that are there.
