USAF Pilot Training Classes 52-G, 52-H and 52-F

REUNION   Click here for a list of those who have signed up for the reunion The 2010 Reunion Package has been mailed to members.  Duplicate information is include on this website: The official 2010 Reunion Information Sheet A description of the principal Reunion Events and tours, prepared by our event managers, Military Reunion Planners (MRP) The preliminary Reunion Schedule The Registration Form should be printed out, and sent in with your advance payment.  Make a copy for your records. Important! You must make your hotel reservations separately, and should do so as early as  possible. Our block of rooms at the Crowne Plaza will be held only until August 13th (or until all are gone). After that date you may still be able to reserve a room, but there’s no assurance you can get the special reunion rate. I know that many members are reluctant to commit to a trip that won’t occur for several months, not knowing what illness, accident or other problem might prevent them from attending. Just remember that your hotel reservations may be cancelled without penalty as late as one day before your planned arrival. And by purchasing the inexpensive cancellation insurance from Military Reunion Planners, you may obtain a full refund of your tour and registration fees up until three days before the start of the reunion.   If you still have questions after reading all the descriptive material, please feel free to contact: Phil Alden, 30 Pine Shadows Lane, Wells, VT 05774 52G@phil.aldenmail.com   (802) 645-0443 , or Randy Presley (903) 573-2439; rp@presley.com, or Military Reunion Planners (817) 251-3551; info@MilitaryReunionPlanners.com We look forward to seeing you in Colorado Springs! Sincerely, Phil Alden, President
