A memorial honoring the ten victims of a plane crash is located at the southwest corner of Gallagher-Iba Arena, near the southeast corner of Boone Pickens Stadium, on the Oklahoma State University campus. This is a beautiful memorial to honor the ten men associated with the OSU Basketball Team who perished on a flight back to Stillwater. In addition to a sculpture of a cowboy, bending down to look at a memorial, it also has plaques, a banner, benches, and photos/bio of each of the ten victims. Strasburg, CO has a memorial near the field where the plane crashed, so I've attached a photo I took there to the gallery.
