Good reunion in Indianapolis the last week in April, 2025. About 15 Takhli/355th Vets and four wives attended with three days of touring the sites in and around Indy as ably lined up by our local host Jim Dupler. Thanks also to Mike Dunn and outgoing treasurer Bill Cook.
Good tours of the Rolls-Royce/Allison Engine Museum, Dallara Indy Car body plant, and The Indy Motor Speedway Museum on Thursday, April 24th. Next day: Monument Circle, the Medal of Honor wall, and the USS Indianapolis Memorial. Saturday, north to Grissom Air Park and a new Huey Museum.

The 2026 renion will be back in Tucson - date to be determined and as usual locall host Carl will try to have it coincide with the Heritage Flight Spring Training.
The 355th Wing is still based at Davis-Monthan but the mission is changing, The A-10s are being deactivated. The new mission for the 355th will be Special Operations, including Search and Rescue.

Scroll down to Mike's May 1st 2025 entry with many more images -- especially of the Grissom Air Park. For old-timers - Grissom used to be Bunker Hill AFB with a B-58 mission. Grissom is now Grissom Air Reserve Base hosting two squadrons of K-135R Stratotankers.

Re: 355th Reunion - Indianapolis April 23-28, 2025
Here is a link to a larger set of images and videos from the Indianapolis reunion - some will dupe things in the prior albums. All are from April 24th to April 27th, 2025 in Indianapolis and the Grissom Air Park and Huey Museum near Peru, IN.
Already announced the 2026 reunion will be held in Tucson AZ - with access to Davis-Monthan AFB very likely again. Date not yet set. Carl will try for a date to coincide with the Heritage Flight Spring Training - if they return to D-M.
