901st/302nd Reunion on Saturday, September 24, 2022 in Colorado Springs at the Elks Lodge on North Neveda. All the information is on Facebook under 901st/302nd Reunion. I realize a lot of people do not use or like Facebook. Unfortunately, this is the only place for any information, and they are wanting a head count for those wanting to attend by the end of July (this month)! Point of contact is Bob Boyum. Hope to see you there!

Ssgt John Wallace I stationed at Sewart AFB assigned to the 61 squadron from March 1966 thru Nov 7 1969. I was cc on 64531 for over 2 years I also crewed 64529 for a while and another one but don’t remember the tail #. I took 64531 on two 90 day TDYs to Mildenhall England and from there all over Europe, parts of N Africa and Middle East. My final 8 months I was engine run certified and was on call 24 hrs a day 7 a week. I was assigned to the 61 squadron but also ran engines for the 62 squadron.

Retired Lockheed flight engineer Jerry Edwards passed away on May 2, 2019. He flew on many hundreds of C-130 production test flights as well as the first C-5A, C-5B, & C-130J flights. His skill at finding squawks on test flights contributed to delivery of trouble-free aircraft.

I posted this in the historical section last night but it probably should have gone here. The officers and board members of the Troop Carrier/Tactical Airlift Association proposed and designed a memorial to the troop carrier/tactical airlift mission at our 2014 meeting in Tucson. The funds were raised (some $37,000) and the memorial has been placed at the USAF Museum. The attached special newsletter includes photographs and information about the upcoming dedication at the 2018 TC/TAA reunion in Dayton this October. USAF veteran and historian Dr. Alan Gropman will be speaking on the Battle of Kham Duc.. Memorial Special.pdf

Tonight if the first time I've been on here in a long time. I wanted to mention the passing of my good buddy Roy Michael "Stony" Burk back in early December. Stoney died is injuries from a motorcycle accident in late November. I first met him when he was with 5th Aerial Port in France and caught a ride with me from Pope when my crew was going on rotation. We literally met each other at the door to our new squadron at Robins AFB, GA a few years later and became fast friends. After a year on C-141s at Robins, we got orders to Clark and went over on the same plane after driving across the country together and both went to F Troop. I went to C-5s at Charleston and Stoney went…
