I created the ARIAMemorial website in 2000. I was a Staff Sergeant assigned to the ARIA program. My job was to acquire airborne targets using the tracking system on the aircraft; my assigned aircraft was ARIA 60-0374.

My relatively short time with the ARIA program was one of my life's best and worst times. Even after 40 years, my memories are still as vivid as they were during those times.

I have dedicated this site to the crew, passengers, and their families of the ill-fated ARIA 61-0328 aircraft that crashed in Walkersville, Maryland, on 6 May 1981.
