The Air Force Navigators Observers Association AFNOA

( www.afnoa.org ) will have an ALL NAVIGATORS - ALL TYPES REUNION at the USAF Air Museum on Wright-Patterson AFB, Area B, Fairborn-Dayton, Ohio: October 14-15-16, 2009. Please come join in! Navs of all types will be there. The Museum entry is free.

AFNOA will have a full membership meeting Friday Oct 16 at 9 AM (be there-have a say), then a great dinner in the Museum under the nose of planes that evening at 6 PM.

Please contact Col Suazo Sostenes, USAF Nav Ret, to Register <ssuazo61@aol.com>. You must register ahead (for meal count for the O’Club who will serve the dinner and for the shuttle busses which will get us back and forth from the Hotel, all days long). Takes at least two days to go through the Air Museum.

The Host Hotel is the Fairborn, Ohio Holiday INN (937)-426-7800, and is next to W-P Area B, which is almost within eye-sight of the Museum. Parking here is free and ample. AFNOA rate here is $96 a night for room w/twin beds.

For those of you that fly in, you will fly in to the Dayton International Airport on the NW side of Dayton. Then  you need to taxi/van down to the SE side of Dayton to Fairborn & the Air Museum. The best taxi deal is Anton Cab 937-830-3108: $40 for 4 folks one way. It is about a half an hour drive. Call the taxi ahead of time.

One is to be a member of AFNOA to attend and the one year membership is $20 which is included in the registration fee of $150…. which we are trying to reduce as the big driver of this costs is the rental of the space in the Museum for the evening meal the 16th: which is $1,200 !!!!! And behind that is the need to shuttle back and forth from hotel to museum.Join AFNOA Now:get ahold of Membership Richard Mansfield for details and pdf copy of news letter at <rhmans2542@cfl.rr.com> or see pdf herein of DR Ahead which we publish quarterly.

This no doubt will be a once in a life time event for us as Navigators from WWII to the very last of our Wings today,,,,as there are no more, not one more, Navigator being trained in the USAF. ZERO~ IT IS HOWEVER OUR PROUD, PATRIOTIC HISTORY. WE FLEW THE MISSIONS IN THESE PLANES!
