During a training flight on 14 November 1954, a formation of three F-80Cs led by Lt. Kulis passed in formation over the Goose Bay area, on the west side of Knik Arm. His wing man watched as Lt. Kulis' fighter went into a steep, diving turn and vanished into a cloud bank. Two weeks later, wreckage belonging to the jet was found in the mud at Goose Bay, but sank before it could be recovered.
Kulis Air National Guard Base in Anchorage Alaska is named in honor of Lt. Kulis.
