The Flight 629 Memorial was founded in November of 2023 to acknowledge the 44 passengers and crew who perished on the United Airlines Flight on November 1, 1955.
The 629 board and committee intend to raise funds to have a ribbon cutting ceremony and commission a home for a monument as we recognize the 70th anniversary, November 1, 2025 at FlyteCo Tower. This memorial dedication is open to the public and committed to preserving the memory of this horrific event and providing support to the families.
The Flight 629 memorial will serve as a permanent marker to preserve the history of the tragic event of Flight 629- the first plane bombing over U.S. soil- and will honor the 44 passengers and crew who were killed in the explosion and crash. Donations will directly support the building of the memorial at the former Stapleton International Airport where the plane took off. Donate here
