The Raiders continue to inspire those servicing in the Air Force.

SONOBUOY PING!

Honorary Navair ping.

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

President Ronald Reagan and Senator Barry Goldwater award General Jimmy Doolittle with a fourth star 26 years after his retirement from the U.S. Air Force. General Doolittle was advanced to four-star rank by Senate confirmation, making him the first person in Air Force Reserve history to wear four stars. 10 April 1985

Heroes in every sense of the word. My dad had a good friend who was a member. He passed several years ago.

A friend of mine was there. There was a fly-over of 20 B-25’s. I didn’t think there were that many B-25’s left in the world.

He said it was an unforgettable event.
