PLAN AHEAD:Note Change in dates! 2011 FMA reunion in Pensacola, FL planned for 6-10 May 2011 celebrating the 100th anniversary of naval aviation. Imagine, Flying Midshipmen were there when naval aviation was only 35 years old. We hope that the Flying Midshipmen and their spouses put these dates on their 2011 calendar now.
