Sergeant Menees was a good crew chief who was respected by everyone who worked with him. He was fair to everyone he worked with and when he needed help no one failed to come forward. Men like Sergeant Menees will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him.

The three men killed in the accident were The Command Chronology entry above contains a typographic error - the accident actually occurred in the very early hours of 31 March, not in the early hours of 30 March.
