Important Information

 

Pete Todd, RIP

We are saddened to report that Maj General Harold W "Pete Todd" took his last flight on Saturday 23 February 2013.  Pete was stricken by a heart attack that evening and did  not survive.  He was at home recuperating from foot surgery for a bunion and was becoming more active and anticipating chasing his bucket list once more.  He was interred at the Air Force Academy on 8 March where he had been a member of the first graduating class of 1959 and was the first Academy graduate to be promoted to General rank. He had been our association president since 2002 and brought our group into the 21st century technologically with our website and email provisions.  Pete is survived by six sons and daughters as well as three stepkids.  In June he tragicly lost his lovely British wife Wendy to her years long battle with cancer.

Pete will be missed.

It's Barksdale in 2014

In 2014, with the help of chairman Ivan McKinney, we're headed to the Barksdale AFB area to meet the newly reactivated 307th Bomb Wing. The new 307th BW at Barksdale wants to host us and the other 307th BW/BG/ARS elements. It looks as if the magic time will be the first week of May 2014, but there is an element of uncertainty due to the DOD budgetary cut back called sequistration.  As of now, all AF and Navy airshows are canceled indefinitely.  Read the current newsletter to see what Ivan McKinney has up his sleave.
