The Disappearance of MEAL 88

Welcome!

This is the story of a US Air Force aircraft and aircrew gone missing during a routine Cold War training mission in 1968. It's also the story of a bold plan to locate that aircraft and bring all eight members of her missing aircrew home... at long last!

We appreciate your interest and support.
