If we started now, we could have one next year. October would be a good month. I've emailed all ex VP-3 that I know of. I suggested Jacksonville, Pensacola or Bransom,MO, as possible sites. I am open for ideas, sites, when, etc. I am not an organizer, or I would volunteer to head this effort. Howeve I can keep a roster with names, addresses, service in VP-3, and other pertinent data.

If the Blue Angels are to be included in the reunion it will have to be scheduled to include a Tuesday or Wednesday. The majority of responses I receive on this question will determine the actual dates.

The Blue Angels Practice on 14th & 15th of May or 28th & 29th of May. The Practice sessions are always on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Practices begin at 8:30 a.m. and last about an hour. Admission to practice is FREE and open to the public. In addition, following on the 15th and 29th of May, there will be an autograph session with the Blue Angels inside the National Naval Aviation Museum. They suggest that you bring a chair. On the21st & 22th of May the Blue Angels will not be in Pensacola.
