ARIA 30th Anniversary Memorial Service and Reunion

We are in the planning stages for the ARIA 2011 reunion and we need your help.

Our first official ARIA reunion was held on the weekend of May 5, 2001, at the National Museum of the Air Force, Dayton, Ohio. May 6, 2001, marked the 20th anniversary of the loss of our ARIA family on ARIA 61-0328. On May 6, 2001, we paid tribute to the crew and passengers of ARIA 61-0328 with a memorial ceremony. The weekend was a celebration of ARIA friends and family and we celebrated the lives of those who were no longer with us.

Our second official ARIA reunion started on May 5, 2006, with a picnic near Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, and continued throughout the weekend on a sea cruise. On May 6, 2006, there was a wreath laying ceremony at sea to pay tribute to the ARIA 61-0328 crew and passengers.

2011 will mark the 30th anniversary of the loss of ARIA 328 and will be our 30th reunion. Those of us that were able to attend the previous reunions know that it was an experience that we want to be a part of again. We don't want you to miss out on such a wonderful experience.

If you are an ARIA Alumni, or a friend of ARIA, you are welcome to join us for the reunion. We welcome you and your family to attend the reunion and make it part of your family vacation. We want to see you there.

Your input will give us insight on how to best proceed with the reunion plans.
