Rattler/Firebird Reunion 2012
When and Where
Wednesday,
June 20, 2012 through Sunday, June 24, 2012 at the Hilton
New Orleans Airport hotel, 901 Airline Drive, Kenner, Louisiana 70062,
right across the street from the airport. Here is a map
to the hotel. Here is a direct link to a page to reserve
a room. Reservations are due by May 11th, 2012. Late
reservations accepted on a space available basis with a non refundable $10
per person late fee.
Our room rate will be $99 plus 12.75 tax for a total of about $112 per night. This is down from the $127 per night in Nashville. There will be no free breakfast from the hotel, but as in the past, we will offer coffee and assorted pastries each morning for free. The hotel does offer a 25% discount off their buffet breakfast which makes the cost about $13 per meal. A Denny’s restaurant is about 100 yards west of the hotel as another option.
Please give some thought to nominations for the Rattler Legend Award and the Unsung Hero Award for our next reunion. Criteria for each are they must be in attendance at the reunion. The Unsung Hero Award goes to a person whose primary duty was NOT as a flight crew member. You might consult the May 2010 Newsletter to look for candidates among those who attended the last reunion, or talk your friends into attending next time.
