"At our 2024 AMEA reunion in Colorado Springs, two of our flight nurse members, Harriet (Goffinet) Neill and Marcia (Wirtz) Tate had the rewarding and delightful experience of sharing breakfast with one of the surviving orphans of the C-5 that crashed in Vietnam on April 5th, 1975. This was the first of many Operation Babylift evacuation flights during the fall of Vietnam.  Aryn Lockhart, now an adult, was an infant living in a Seventh Day Adventist orphanage at the time of the crash when President Ford commissioned the first evacuation flight.  Aryn has accomplished several of her life goals, including a rewarding education obtaining a master’s degree and adopting three children herself!  In addition, she currently serves as a speech writer to the Commandant of Cadets at the Air Force Academy, VIPs, and other dignitaries.  More significantly, she lives by her own motto of "pay it forward."  Having become an "adopted" daughter and family member of Colonel Regina Aune, also a flight nurse on the C-5 (sadly, Regina passed away earlier this year), Aryn and Regina returned together to Vietnam in 2014.  Together they collaborated on their memories of that time and place entitled "A Memoir of Hope and Healing," published in 2018.  It's an absorbing, fascinating, and heartfelt read!"

MPORTANT:  The New dues amount was overwhelmingly approved by the membership and are as follows: Biennial - $50.00 and Lifetime - $200.00.

It is a gift to treasure when you rekindle old friendships and make new ones. We extend a cordial invitation to all of you in the Aeromedical family to join the Association. The AMEA was formed to enable those with a ‘common core of experience’ to become a part of an organization dedicated to encouraging camaraderie, preserving memories and the ongoing legacy/history of AE, and maintaining/expanding a network of members who share an absolutely unique experience. This invitation extends to all personnel in all branches of the service (Reserve, National Guard, Active Duty) who serve, or formerly served, in ANY capacity in an aeromedical evacuation or support unit, including their widows/widowers and children.

In many cases working in AE was the high point of an individual’s military career. The friendships made are special and truly outlast both time and distance. So, if you’ve ever reminisced about your Air Evac days or wished you could reconnect with old friends and make new ones, you’ve come to the right place. AMEA offers the opportunity to share all of those old memories and to create new ones. Remember, you are an integral part of the AE story and moreover, you are family. So come travel with us to scenic and fun-filled reunion sites every two years. We look forward to meeting you in person! Click on the Events tab on the menu bar above for upcoming reunion details.
