VHPAF now has a mailing list which allows subscribed VHPAF members to communicate with each other via a listserver. This listserver is going to be utilized to advise members of upcoming events such as reunions, Board of Directors meetings, etc. The listserver may also be used by members to reconnect and share information from “times long ago”. Maybe we all can hear a new war story or two. The listserver is intended for sharing vhpaf, military, or aviation related information. It is not to be used for jokes, political commentary, or commercial messages. If you are a VHPAF member and you’d like to be added as a subscriber, send an email to the Listserver Administrator, chrisgarbow@bellsouth.net . 250 of your buddies are already there.

DEDICATION OF 66-15069 MUSTANG

 

66-15069
Ten members of the Mustang gun platoon 68thAHC recently gathered in Nampa Idaho at the Warhawk Air Museum for a dedication ceremony of the restoration of one of their former gunships. UH-1C/M 66-15069 was purchased by the museum to be the centerpiece of their Viet Nam War display.
Select Aviation in Hamilton Montana did a complete static restoration of 069 and delivered it to the museum for display. The museum consists of WW2. Korea, Cold War, and Viet Nam displays and has approx 30000 square feet of display space.
The museum is located on the airport in Nampa Idaho and if you are in the area is a must see location.

Thanks from Reunion Committee

To all the Un-sung Heros,
Now that I’ve caught up on my sleep, and after a trip up to Atlanta…
Thanks again to all of you for your tireless volunteer efforts at the VHPA annual reunion.
We had over 25 Florida members and spouses helping to make this a great reunion. I heard no complaints and heard many compliments on how smoothly events flowed, especially the registration process. VHPAF sales were solid, the OH-6 was a hit, the memorabilia room had heavy traffic, the helicopter golf ball drop came off without a hitch (and we dodged the rain), Warbirds Tour was a well received new addition, National had some very nice things to say about our Florida Chapter at both the volunteer dinner and the closing banquet, and we signed up 15 new VHPAF members.
It was a lot of work, but in the final analysis, it was a lot of fun too.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and may God bless America.
Chris Garbow
