 the beginning . . .
 

 

 . . . the last dance
 

The need was a platform to provide tracking and telemetry to fulfill APOLLO and Department of Defense requirements in remote locations across the world.  In 1966 ARIA was born.

the price . . .

On a sunny May day in 1981 ARIA 328 departed from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on a training mission. It was to be her last flight. All aboard perished. 

the heritage . . .

The dawn of a new millennium ended the ARIA program. ARIA played an important role in the United States defense program. Before it could end, ARIA touched the hearts of the men and women that served in the program in support of
their country.


this site . . .

This is a private web site that has no affiliation with the United States Air Force or any government agency.

I created this site to provide a safe haven for information to preserve the ARIA history. My only regret is that I didn't  start  this project earlier. Information on this site is provided for all to read, download and share with others.

Information contributions are openly accepted and are needed. I need to hear your stories and see your photographs to  preserve memories that only you can provide.

I am proud to have been a crewmember on ARIA 374 and to have know these men and women of ARIA.
