The Chief’s of Wright-Patterson along with the Wright- Patt Chief’s Group are holding a celebration to recognize the event. The event will be held at the National Museum of the United States Air Force on 1 December 2009 and the guest speaker is CMSAF #5 Robert D. Gaylor. Tickets for the event are $50.00 per person and I anticipate them going on sale 1 June. Initial offering will be open to only Chief’s and their guests.
