More on 21 TAS reunion, Bob

It's great to see the comraderie going strong among former BEEliners! I'm also glad to see you got our invite for the 70th. We're pushing to get the info out to as many 21 TAS crew dogs as possible, and I'd really appreciate your help given our incomplete records.

Are there any threads in this forum (or any others) that many Beeliners frequent? Also, I've been making phone calls and it's been awesome to hear how much people have been talking amongst eachother about the event. I was hoping you'd also continue to help spread the word! Below is the address to our E-Invitation. On the invitation, there is also a link to our registration page. We really need people to start registering/RSVP'ing for the event for our planning purposes!

https://einvitations.afit.edu/Smith174293/anim.cfm

I encourage you to send that link to any and all Beeliners you know... or if you'd prefer to send me their contact info, I could send it out myself. Up to you.

Again, we really need people to start registering for our planning purposes, please encourage them to do so! If you or anyone else have any questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected] or call me personally at (808) 781-8761.

Thanks a lot for your time,

Tanner W. Go, 1Lt, USAF

Pilot, 21 Airlift Squadron

Gentlemen,

Great to see this info made it online. The reunion will be from 16 Feb to 18 Feb 2012 at Travis AFB in Fairfield, CA. Events will include past and present operations reviews, bbq, aircraft static displays, a formal banquet and more! Below is a link to our E-Invitation, which has a link to our RSVP/Registration page.

https://einvitations.afit.edu/Smith174293/anim.cfm

Please register at your earliest convenience! For planning purposes we need to know who's going to make it! I also encourage you to spread the word / link to all former BEEliners!

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected]!

Respectfully,
