Welcome to the 307th Bomb Wing B-47/KC-97 Association web site.

WW2, Post-War, Korean Vets, please note:

There are several associations which serve the 307th Community throughout it's history.

The 307th Bomb Group Association serves the B-24 "Long Rangers" through their existance and Pacific Campaigns during World War II, 1941-1945. A contact for that group is Jim Kendall, group historian at

Jmk307hist@aol.com

The B-29 era from 1946-1954, which includes the Korean War is served by the 307th Bomb Wing/Group Association. Their contact is their editor, Tom Stevens, at stevenst@swbell.net

We, the 307th Bomb Wing B-47/KC-97 Association serve the B-47 & KC-97 Cold War era at Lincoln AFB, Nebraska during the period 1954-1965.

Our Mission

Reunion Information

Branson's Over, It's On To

Dayton and the Air Force Museum

The Twelth Standup

June 14 to 19, 2010

For more info, click HERE

Your congenial hosts for the next reunion in Dayton will be Frick & Frack, aka, Bud Flanik and Mike Gingrich. Preliminary plans have been sketched out and we plan to do once again several of the things you enjoyed so much at the 1996 reunion in Dayton.

We will have a"Dinner Under The Wings" at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, to include a concert by the Air Force Band of Flight. Another highlight will be a dinner cruise on an Ohio River sternwheel riverboat with appropriate dixie jazz from the era when the River Gentlemen were all Gamblers and the ladies were all Belles.

The week will be capped with our traditional banquet. In betwixt, there will be lots of time to browse the AF Museum, and to see the new B-47 and SAC Monuments. We also hope to have a tour of some of the interesting Wright Brothers related historical sites. By 2010 it is expected the Museum will be twice as large as it was in 1996, and it will hopefully include a Space Shuttle for you to peruse close up.

Our headquarters is expected to be at the same hotel we used in 1996, and we'll have more info on that as it emerges.

So, watch this space for further developments, and in the meantime if you need to contact us, we are:
