Major Mills:
I talked with you earlier in the winter in regards to some participation
by Dyess AFB in the upcoming WASP Reunion to be held in Sweetwater Septem-
ber 26-28, 1986. After visiting with Col. Alan Rogers who referred me to
your office, it was determined that this "one of a kind" reunion to honor
the women who served in the unique position that they did in WW II should
be given high priority. In particular, the committee is interested in the
following participation by Dyess AFB:
1. Tour(s) of Dyess AFE, with particular emphasis on the BIB
a. BIB & KC135
b. Demo by Security Police
Narcotics Dogs
Bomb Dogs
Attack Dogs
Airman repelling an attack
2. The Airmen of Note for an evening
3. Any type static display for the Sweetwater Airport (original home
of the WASP)
(C130)
4. Any type "flyover" that could be scheduled in the air show
(see attached pending program of activities)
C130 Air Drop
C130 Assault take off and landing (could be static display)
BIB-(This flyover can be coordinated with the traditional airshow)
5. Lunch at Officers Club (Dutch Treat)
I look forward to working with you on this request.
Sin ly,
omer K. ay or
