Wichita State University football team plane crash
In clear and calm weather at 1:14 p.m. on Friday, October 2, 1970, a chartered Martin 4-0-4 airliner crashed into a mountain eight miles (13 km) west of Silver Plume, Colorado. Operated by Golden Eagle Aviation, the twin-engined propliner carried 37 passengers and a crew of three; 29 were killed at the scene and two later died of their injuries while under medical care.〔(Memorial '70 at Wichita State )〕 It was one of a two-aircraft flight carrying the Wichita State University football team to Logan, Utah, for a game against Utah State University;〔(Mondout, Patrick (2005), Air Crash In Rockies Kills Wichita State Football Players, Super70s.com, Retrieved 2009-09-10 )〕 the second aircraft flew a different route and arrived safely in Utah. Pilot errors, including poor in-flight decisions and inadequate pre-flight planning, were officially reported as leading to the crash.〔
==Background==
About three months prior to the crash, Wichita State contracted Golden Eagle Aviation to supply a Douglas DC-6B, to fly the team to away games for the 1970-1971 season.〔 The four-engined DC-6 was a large, powerful aircraft that could accommodate the entire team. Golden Eagle Aviation did not own the DC-6, but it had an arrangement with the Jack Richards Aircraft Company to use it.〔 After the agreements were made the DC-6 was damaged and was unavailable for use.〔 A pair of Martin 4-0-4s (which had not flown since 1967) were re-certified for flight. On October 2, 1970, these were ferried from the Jack Richards Aircraft Company facilities in Oklahoma City to Wichita, instead of the DC-6.〔
