Hello folks, I am ha= ppy to report that a plan is in place to hold a joint Bird Dog reunion with the 22= 1^st RAC. After an onsite meeting by representatives from both units, it w= as agreed that the place and dates were ideal for our purpose. The weather sho= uld be great and with most of the tourists having departed, crowds should not b= e a problem.

This reunion will pr= ovide us with a unique opportunity to meet and socialize with members of our sister unit. With the history of both units connected to operations in support of = IV Corp in Viet Nam, there will be a lot common ground for discussion.

REGISTRATION: There is a registration fee of $150.00 p= er person. This money will be used to cover the cost of the hospitality room, refreshments, welcome party, and Saturday’s dinner.

It will have&nbs= p;a street price of $169.99 and without a powersets, $109.99. Take a look at this adventure at www.powerlinehobbies.com.
