Welcome to the South Missouri Chapter of the
Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association.




Our 2nd Quarterly VHPASMO Meeting photo.

Note from our President

The third quarterly meeting of the South Missouri Chapter of VHPA will be held on Patriots' Day, September 11, 2010, at the Rolla National Airport, near Vichy, Missouri.  The meeting will be in the hangar of Baron Aviation, where our host, Ed Schmidt, has several vintage airplanes for us to see and learn about.  Ed flew fixed wings in Vietnam and shares many experiences which are similar to ours.  We are hoping to have a Black Hawk from Ft. Leonard Wood and/or an Apache from Whiteman AFB.

Lunch will be catered by a renown BBQ establishment from Rolla.  Once the menu is finalized, the price will be determined, and we will be asking for RSVP's.  We want to have enough to feed all that attend, without having much more than we need.

Please plan on attending this meeting, as we are really excited about the location, as well as the opportunity to meet and get to know each other better.  If you flew in Southeast Asia during theVietnam era, or you know someone who did, rotary or fixed wing, come and bring someone with you.

Hope to see you there.

John Sorensen,
President
