SAVE THE DATE!

Dear Friends of the 416th Bomb Group,
After a great reunion in Windsor Locks, Connecticut under a pandemic that refused to disappear, we are headed to Tucson in October 2022. The dates are Wednesday, October 26th through Sunday, October 30th, 2022.
Our initial planning is exploring all Tucson has to offer, which, for those who haven’t been before, is quite a bit. There are military-themed activities to explore as well as an abundance of culture of the Southwest and we are hard at work picking the best.
This reunion is being coordinated by one of our Friends of the 416th who served at Wethersfield during the Cold War years. Steve Bisel was at the Connecticut Reunion and offered to coordinate this one in Tucson. He has lived in Phoenix for several years and even hosted a reunion in Tucson for his old Wethersfield unit in 2013 so is intimately familiar with Tucson and its activities.
After the holidays, the Reunion Committee will send out a survey to determine what things people are interested in participating in while in Tucson. Don’t worry, filling out the survey doesn’t commit you to attending the reunion! We want to find out, of the things we’re looking at, everyone’s level of interest in each of the potential activities.
Some of the activities we’ve identified include:
* Pima Air Museum and tour of the nearby Davis-Monthan AFB "Aircraft Boneyard"
* Mt. Lemon University of Arizona Observatory Private Starry Party with evening dinner
* Jeep Tour Desert Ecology Tour and Cowboy Cookout
* Titan Missile Museum
* Sabino Canyon Tour
* Mission San Xavier del Bac
We are still working on a hotel in Tucson. It is good news that the Tucson Tourism Office is assisting us in these efforts and all indications are positive for acquiring excellent accommodations for everyone and a very reasonable price.
After the holidays we will sending out the survey. In that survey, we will include all information that we know, including any updates on the hotel. Please help the committee by returning your survey regarding what you’d like to do while in Tucson. The survey will be sent to you in early January. And, of course, it goes without saying, we’ll have a Hospitality Room. No 416th Bomb Group Reunion would be complete without one!
Happy Holidays everyone!
The Reunion Committee
