and local dignitaries from the community.





= The Challenge =

Jack Doub has thrown down the gauntlet

"Kip, tell your boss an old Hun SOB, RAF would like to contribute $1,000 to the drinking fund. Maybe we alums of the Hun era can set up a 'Hun Bar' and man it with old Hunsters? (I can set it up if it's appropriate! I'm sure I can get Frank Hettlinger to man the bar with me!!) It's the least I can do for all the fun I had flying with the Fightin' 181st ... at that time a 'Group!'" ~ Misty 145




= The End of the Race =


Shuttle service between hotel and base will be available.

We will accept a limited number of aircraft on the ramp.
So, if you want to fly in a fighter, let Kip know ASAP.

The Afterburner Club, Officer's Club, All Ranks Club, and
Bar are all the same, located on the east side of the base.

Hun Bar - Jack Doub has offered up a large some of cash
to set up a Hun Bar. We are planning on building a bar for
anyone who wants to pony up some cash to pay respects
to their airplane. These bars will be located in the club
and decorated with the respective aircraft memorabilia.
Thanks Doub!

The shotgun raffle will be a Ruger Red Label 12 Ga.

Rick "Curly" Friesner donated for raffle
a custom 113th FS Stienhart watch.
