Ref: 355th Takhli reunion
Good evening everyone this is Carl/Zak Juszczak here in Tucson and got some good news today as Big Bill has passed onto everyone we got the room rate dropped about $7/night thanks to Jerry Hogden's checking into a senior rate.
Now it has been brought to my attention that some folks want to get an AMARG/boneyard tour so I have that in the works with my connection there. We will be having an 8 choice Thai meal along with Singhai and Chang beers on Thursday evening.
A burger burn with our local A-10 pilots, A-10 Sim time, Army National Guard Helicopter Training Facility tour, Titan missile silo tour and especially the Heritage Flight. Which we will be able to view from a VIP tent on the flightline as honored guest of the 355th Wing and Col Meger.
The show will include P-51, P-47, F-86 possibly F-4s, F-22s, A-10Cs and who knows maybe even some F-35s will show up.. If you haven't seen their formation flying it is really a terrific site. All that plus a briefing by the 42nd ECS formally the 42nd TEWS on their current mission and a briefing by our own Art McAninch B-66 pilot or Alex Underwood B-66 Navigator/ECM operator who had 100 missions in the B-66s. They will brief on the B-66s mission in Vietnam versus what the 42nd ECS does today.
That plus our welcome dinner and banquet so we have an impressive list of events and if you can make it folks it is going to be a good one.
I look forward to meeting some new faces, so thanks and we will see you in March, Anybody have questions feel free to call me at 520-405-4563 take care all, Carl/Zak.
