This year the Airlift/Tanker Association Conference was held in Grapevine, Texas at the Gaylord Convention center. There was a large turnout of Airlift professionals—around 4,000! Colonel Gail Halvorsen loved the A/TA, and was honored to be in their Hall of Fame. He rarely missed an opportunity to attend this annual gathering of Airlift professionals. Jim Stewart attended along with his friends from the Civil Air Patrol, and others from the Foundation, to represent. Please see our Facebook Page for details and videos.
