2026 IFR Reunion was a great success.  Approximately 130 members and guests enjoyed the banquet in the National Museum of the USAF at Wright Patterson AFB.  Col Andrew Powers, our Guest Speaker,  provided one of the best updates on the state of USAF Inflight Refueling I've heard since retiring.  

Additionally, there wasn't a dry eye amongst the group as the IFR presented Mr. Simmons a memorial to his Son, MSgt Tyler Simmons who stowed the Boom for the final time during "Epic Fury" this past March. 

Finally, a lasting Memorial Bench to the Inflight Refueling Specialist was dedicated by the IFR to the Museum and will remain forever in the Museum's Memorial Park 2.
