I was stationed with the 453rd OMS Dyess AFB 81-83.
I worked ISO, however being an airman that lost strips before I got them
I was working the Wash Rack that week with Airman Williams. (we're still best friends)
April 13 1982 AC,74-1678 crashed over turkey. I forget what time it was when we heard,
We all knew it was Pam's plane, hit me hard as she had kinda taken me under her wing.
As I remember Airman Mark Deerzack was also on board, however I can find no info on that.
I was at the funeral, I especially remember the C-130 fly over.
Something is very odd as I found an old Turkey news paper clipping referring to that crash, Same date,
same engine separation result everything except the names of the dead. Mark Nor Pam are listed.
Just discovered this thread. Yes, my brother, Mark Dzierzak, was on that flight. I spoke with him a few days before. I know his name was listed on a plaque at an Abilene hospital or clinic. A long time ago. Miss him every day.
