Our 2022 reunion in Colorado Springs was a smashing success thanks to flight lead, Smiler Eberhart, supported by his able wingman, Tootsie Roll. We are in the process of collecting pictures and will soon have them posted to the 2022 Reunion tab. Keep checking back.
For those who attended, you should have seen an e-mail with instructions on where to send any pictures you took during the reunion. Dirty has volunteered to head up the reunion picture collection and will upload them to a Dropbox where everyone can see them. In addition, we'll be adding select pictures to the website, as already noted.
The 496TFS, circa 1978-1981 has held six reunions over the past 12 years. Our first reunion was in 2010, or roughly our 30th year since we flew together at Hahn.
- 2010 Las Vegas, NV
- 2012 Austin, TX
- 2014 Dayton, OH
- 2016 Las Vegas, NV - The F-4's last airshow
- 2018 St. Louis, MO
- 2022 Colorado Springs (2020 reunion cancelled for COVID)
You should have seen the e-mail from PigPen that was forwarded with information on ordering squadron shirts.
If you haven't already done so, click on the 2018 Reunion tab for a 2018 reunion debrief, list of attendees, and photo gallery. Over the summer, I'll be adding pictures from previous reunions.
I am currently rebuilding our website after it was deleted when our web provider moved us to a new server. It is a work in progress.
Shoot me any comments or questions you may have regarding the website. Also, if you have old slides, snapshots, or videos from your time at Hahn, GE, please let me know so we can arrange to get copies. I can have copies made and return the originals if that's easiest.
