Army Air Force Composite Group's first WWII Weekend Part One

WWII Weekend 2014

L-R John Purdy C-47 Co-Pilot, Tim Shantleler, Don Reed, Jim Vocell C-47 Pilot, John Rupple and Steve Miller

The 2014 addition of World War II Weekend featured the best weather we had in 12 years. We had a chance to catch up with old friends and make some new ones.


Here is Major Miller with an old friend from the 101st Airborne re-enactor group. We take our hats off to these fine group of guys who helped us stow our equipment and  provided lots of laughs. Special thanks to Big Mark, Small Mark, Mark I and Mark II.

Don had the privilege of participating in a photo shoot featuring members of a Chinese National re-enactor group. During the war thousands of Chinese soldiers were trained by the USA and then transported from bases in northern India to Kunming in China to fight the Japanese. Special thanks goes to Al Mello with the Warriors and Warbirds group who allowed us to take these shots inside their beautiful C-46 Commando.

Also thanks to Major Peter C. Chen (third from left in photo) for helping to organize the photo shoot. 






Here's the AAFCG relaxing after a great WWII experience.

We will be adding lots of other shots of the show as soon as possible.
