A bronze C-130 memorial dedicated to the nine fallen crew of Coast Guard rescue aircraft 1705 and Marine Corps helicopter Vengeance 38 on the grounds of Air Station Sacramento was unveiled during a remembrance ceremony Oct. 29, 2011.

The event also marked the two-year anniversary of the tragedy where the military aviators died during a mid-air collision off the coast of San Diego.
