Welcome to the
Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association
Washington State Chapter


Our Mission

To enhance and accredit the cohesiveness, esprit de corps, and traditions of valor of rotary wing aircrews that flew in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam Era.

To seek out, using whatever means available, individuals who piloted rotary wing aircraft in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam era and inform them of the existence of the VHPA and encourage all eligible individuals to become members. Membership is open to all helicopter pilots who flew in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam era (1961-1975).

News

From national VHPA Headquarters:

As you know, another year has passed and it's time to be thinking about registering for Reunion 2008 in San Antonio, TX.  Online registration opened a couple of weeks ago and it looks like we're going to have a great turnout as we descend on the noted Riverwalk.  You can get all of the information you need at http://www.vhpareunion.org (including a link for registering) or you can register using the form in the Aviator.  Don't procrastinate, click that register link now.

The Executive Council, National Reunion Committee, and VHPA Staff & HQ look forward to another great reunion and for you to be there!  If you have any questions, contact cholly@vhpa.org (reunion webmaster).

Here's hoping to see you there!
