Attendance was approximately 27 people.

Michael Howell will be requesting models for some Air Force base displays he’s working on. He also wants to promote us through the Cavalcade of Wings display at the ABQ Sunport given our supportive relationship.

Mike Blohm gave an update on the Folds of Honor model display and upcoming Air Force Ball.

John Tate and Tony Humphries gave excellent presentations on the Yom Kippur War, which ended up being almost prophetic given the recent outbreak of violence in the region that was almost 50 years to the day.
