In 2014, a 25th remembrance of Flight 232 was held.







In 2014, a 25th Anniversary remembrance of the crash and the Siouxland response was held.  This section of the air museum website highlights those events and those involved to make the 25th one to remember.  Three days were designed to reflect on when United Flight 232 DC10 crash-landed at Sioux Gateway Airport, to learn from the way Siouxlanders responded, and to honor those lost.
