1st Fighter Association goals:
- Preserve the rich heritage of the 1st and its three squadrons
- Provide forums for staying in contact with (or locating) fellow veterans and their families
- Foster ties with the current generation of warriors, allowing them to meet those who served before them, to share stories, experiences, and camaraderie, and to allow veterans and their families a better understanding of current events, personnel and equipment shaping the future of the 1st
- Provide a publicly accessible forum (website and newsletter) to preserve the 1st's historical records, photos, and stories, for families, friends, researchers and the global public |

The next reunion is in 2007 at Reno, Nevada during the Reno Air Races. Our reunions are held near a military base where the current 1st Fighter Wing can participate. We anticipate a great turn out from not only the WW2 veterans, but from the current 1st Fighter Wing personnel and those that served with the 1st between WW2 and today. We have had fantastic reunions for over 10 years, including active duty participation, and an increasing number of FIS-era members (despite their separated squadron locations). See photos of our recent reunions inckuding the 2006 reunion at Langley AFB at our REUNIONS PAGE.
