Honoring the Legacy of the Vinh Long Outlaws
The Vinh Long Outlaws Association (a 501(c)19 nonprofit, tax-exempt organization) was formed from personnel previously assigned to aviation units with lineage to the original and all succeeding Outlaws, Mavericks (later called Bushwhackers), and Roadrunners that deployed to and operated out of Vinh Long, Vietnam, and to a more recent unit that bore the same Outlaw call sign and fought in Iraq.

Directors Corner
Greetings all. The planning for the DC reunion is ongoing. We have hired Armed Forces Reunions, Inc to facilitate the contracts with the hotel and vendors. This is the second time we’ve use this company and so there should be no surprises. I will elaborate more on the activities as they become finalized. The Museum of the Army and the Air and Space Annex are two we will most likely go to. Good news is the admission is free to both.
If you haven’t gone on the website lately, please do. Phil Van Alst has done an extensive job of working with Harlow Media to update and modernize the website. This is the public face of our association along with the newsletter and so is important to present them as best we can.
Bob Sharp as usual has done a splendid job with the newsletter. I can’t thank him enough for doing it for so long. We would be lost without his commitment.
The one thing organization lacks is participation in the offices that are necessary to keep organization going. On that note, I am asking if anyone would be willing to spearhead the Anderson silent auction for the 2026 Reunion. Ivan White did a great job at the last reunion and deserves to be able to sit back and enjoy the next reunion, so we need someone to step up, please.
I look forward to continuing to do the preliminary planning for the reunion. I really enjoy contributing to the VLOA Association whose members I honor for their contributions and dedication to our great Nation.
If you need me or just want to talk l am here.
Stay Safe and well
