NEW! A series of Vietnam photos

Take a look here.
NEW! Well, sort of. We just got
copies of several newsletters from 1994 up to 1999.
They are posted in the "Newsletters" section.
These additions are marked with an asterisk.
The Library section has been completely revamped to
include links to all available printed material along
with many new folders containing over 1000 images from
our past. Some of these images are before World
War I with images from World War II, Korea, Vietnam,
Aircraft, Weather Instruments and Equipment and more.
Use the "Library" link on the left side menu to begin
your visit.
All reunion pictures have been moved to a new location.
We now have pictures from the reunions dating back to
Las Vegas in 2000, the 50th AND 75th Anniversary of Air
Force Weather. You will note that there are no
pictures from the 2008 reunion in Tacoma. If you
were there and would like to share your pictures, please
let us know. The pictures are now
located here.
The 2012 AWA reunion in Omaha was a great success.
We have received a lot of images and will be putting
them on the web shortly. To all who came, we loved
seeing you, to those that couldn't make it, we missed
you.
At the reunion buffet dinner, 2 new board members were
added, Tom Accola and Al
Mongeon. We look forward to their fresh
ideas and helping the direction of the AWA into the
future.

The vast majority are of the Weather Bureau offices that were and to
a certain extent still are at Reagan National Airport in Washington

A pictorial series from
Korea, some during the

Over
120 photographs from WW

former WC-130's that have begun new lives!
The
AFWA History office has sent us numerous cd's with lots of
historical information and images that are being cataloged here.
The first set to be stored is a
1st Weather Wing history from 1954 to
1968. We also have, so far, a set of images that all have
aircraft in them. Many are from the
55th, 56th and 58th Weather
Recon Squadrons. No info is available other than the image
so if you can provide some details, we will add that to the image. The images have been shrunk down for the web but we have
the high quality images available. If you would like any of
the images sent to you, please contact the
webmaster.

Thanks to the AFWA History folks for giving us
a great deal of information during the reunion. A partial listing has
been added with more to come soon. They put together an "Air
Force Weather Professional Reading List" on CD-ROM that is now
available here for the first time. These files are quite large
and will take some time to download. All are in Adobe PDF
format. Click here for the latest.
AFWA complied a "Heritage Celebration" video that was previewed at
the Omaha reunion banquet. The video is available as a Windows
Media download
and as a Real Player download video.
Also available as a streaming video.
You will need Macromedia Flash to view the streaming video.
AFWA History office put together
