We are eager to host this event in the Norfolk-Virginia Beach area. NAS Norfolk served as VP-24's home base from 1959 to 1967! Many of our shipmates reside in the Tidewater area. We have already done some preliminary work, have identified a couple of venue options, and are shooting for a Sept- Oct timeframe. After the first of the year, we'll nail down a specific headquarters hotel as well as an activities agenda. We are presently thinking about two days of activities - one day in the Norfolk area and one-day in the Virginia Beach area - including a great spouses program!..."

UPDATE "...I just got back from our VP-24 Reunion in Reno, Nevada. It was fantastic to see so many of my shipmates whom I have not seen since 1966. But one of the biggest highlights was the intoroduction of one of the members of the very first iteration of VP-24 (VB-104) and the presence of the sailor who sent the last official message when VP-24 was decommissioned in 1998. This historical continuity will not last long as our older Shipmates make the last muster. But needless to say, it is great while we are all together. I encourage all of you who have not attended a squadron Reunion to make the effort. It will be some of the best times you will ever have. Happy landings to all...Joe Brickler brickhaus43@aol.com..."
