SFA President's Corner

Bill Lake, Stealth Fighter Association President

Message from the SFA President  -  February 10, 2009

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is hard to believe that it has been a year (or more) since the last Stealth Fighter Reunion. What a fabulous event it was and we owe another round   of applause and appreciation to Dave "Big Dog" Wells and the reunion committee for many hours of tireless effort putting a great event together. The details were planned out and executed in such a way as to make the event truly exceptional. Thanks gang.   

The past SFA Board of Directors did a great job building our membership rolls and doggedly pursuing a contact list that has continued to grow, solidifying a commitment to keeping the memories alive. Many thanks to Dave Wells, Art Weyermuller, Sherrie Bouche, Mike Harris, Doug Robinson, and David Walker, Jay Tweed and Tammy Ward.

The new Board of Directors elected at the last SFA business meeting are:

Bill Lake                President
Scott Ogden         Vice President
Mary Burris           Secretary / Treasurer
John Zink              Board Member
Doug Robinson    Board Member

Greg Meland is our talented and energetic Communications Director and we are blessed to be able to retain the skilled support of Dave Walker (Art Director) and Tammy Ward (Webmaster) as we continue to promote the legacy of the Stealth Fighter, despite its transition to inactive service with the USAF.

At the next Board meeting, we will have an open discussion about the future of the SFA without F-117 Nighthawks in active service. We seem to have two realistic options - continue as (an F-117) Stealth Fighter Association, or expand our membership to include today's stealth fighter community, the F-22 Raptor. We would like to hear your views, thoughts and opinions on this topic as well as anything else on your mind (about the SFA).

The SFA appreciates, wants, and needs the support of the membership. Please keep in touch, keep our email rosters up-to-date, the online point of contact for keeping email addresses updated is Greg Meland , and let us know your thoughts.

Bill
