For all you Active Duty and Civil Servants out there, here is an excellent choice to make when the CFC Drive comes around again. Founded in 2003, WWP’s purpose is to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of injured service members, to help injured service members aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs.

Here are some of my favorite sites
Air Force Navigator & Observer Association (AFNOA)
AFNOA is an association of US Air Force Navigators, Observers, EWOs, WSOs, and CSOs [First Combat System Operators (CSOs) start training 30 September 2004]. AFNOA currently has about 1200 members from World War II to current active duty, guard and reserve navigators. As a member, you receive a quarterly newsletter, DR Ahead, and the opportunity to participate in activities with fellow aviators.

RIO RIVER RATS
http://www.rioriverrats.com
This is a super cool site made by and dedicated to the members of UPT Class 71-06 from Laredo AFB, TX. There is also a flight video of T37 & T38 flying that should not be missed. Definately should stop by and check it out.
ROBINS AFB Museum of Aviation
http.www.museumofaviation.org
As a volunteer at the Museum of Aviation here in Warner Robins GA, I always recommend that people stop here to see all that we have to offer for free. There are 4 buildings with many exhibits and over 100 aircraft both inside and out. They offer self-guided and guided tours Tuesday through Saturday. The Museum is open Monday thru Sunday from 9:00AM to 5:00PM. It is the number two Air Force Museum behind the Dayton museum at Wright Patterson, however their Education Center is second to none!
