OF all the reunions I attended, I picked this one to miss (well didn't pick, it was circumstances!) and it looks like it was a great one! Slick you deserve the credit for getting all those birds together in Reno!! Great job, my friend!!:D

See you there Dale! It will be the first one we haven't had to travel a bunch for since Pensacola 2002, and that was 10 hours... I'll be looking for the Rotorhead Riders group there, too!!!

Coulda, shoulda, woulda, but circumstances were against me.

Great Job to ALL of the crew that put this together.

Being a newcomer to the Association (didn't learn of it until 2007) I made my first reunion in DC. Had a blast and met a ton of fine people. Made the scene in Reno and was not disappointed. I had a ball there and it was very well put together. Finally got to know some people personally and was impressed with the caliber of the people I met. Spent the bulk of my time with HMM 163. The only thing I felt bad about was the fact that the event coinsided with the 60th anniversary of the Korean War and I was not aware of any acknowledgement of this event during the reunion. Being a veteran of that time, I was disappointed because it was from this time period that MAG 16 developed the helicopter tactics that went on to become a standard part of U.S. Marine Corps operations.

Never missed any of them. It is a hassle for an old Marine from Hawaii !! I liked Reno & Pensacola best of the sites. Col Slick has done a great job for our Group !! I agree Korea was the base in Helicopter Operations for our Corp. This Group was established as the Vietnam Helicopter background which since has envolved all including current Helicopter Vets & active duty. Semper Fidelis PM
