B-47 Stratojet Association Reunion - 2008
The next B-47 Stratojet Association Reunion will be in
Marietta GA on September 25-27, 2008. The Reunion Committee met with the Board
of Governors at the June meeting and presented plans for what is shaping up to
be a great time. Marietta is significant in B-47 history because the Lockheed
plant there produced 394 Stratojets and maintained and modified many others. The
plant produced two unique models, the QB-47E drone and the WB-47E weather
reconnaissance bird, both of which were modifications of existing airplanes.
The site of the Reunion will be the Marietta Conference Center and Resort, a beautiful facility built on some very historic property. The Center is on the grounds of the former Marietta Country Club with its beautiful golf course. The property was once the site of the Georgia Military Institute built in 1851 as Georgia’s first military school. During the Civil War, 10,000 wounded and sick soldiers received care in tents and brush arbors on the grounds.
Marietta is a beautiful town, just northwest of Atlanta, with a wonderful downtown square and close proximity to a number of Civil War sites, including the Kennesaw Mountain Battleground.
The Reunion Committee has planned a fine program. Thursday will feature our traditional welcoming buffet. A tour of the Lockheed facility followed by lunch at the plant is tentatively scheduled for Friday. Saturday’s schedule has the B-47 symposium and activities especially for the ladies with the banquet in the evening.
Mark your calendars now. Registration information will be available next Spring. For additional information contact Bob Bowman at 770-826-5562
