2023 Joint Bomb Groups Reunion
To reserve rooms, please call 1-866-932-7062 and tell them you’re booking with the FIFTEENTH AIR FORCE REUNION or click the button below titled Westin Dulles Hotel Reservations. Room rate is $112 per night plus tax and includes breakfast buffet for 2 per room. Rooms are available at the group rate from October 9 – 18, 2023 to allow extra time before and after the reunion to take advantage of the nearly endless list of things to see and do in the Washington DC area. Reservations must be made by September 22, 2023 to be guaranteed the group rate. Cancellations at no charge may be made until 48 hours prior to arrival. The hotel is pet friendly.
Parking is usually $10 per day but is free for our group. The hotel offers a free airport shuttle to Dulles International Airport and to the nearby Metro light rail station.
Registrations must be received no later than October 1, 2023. No changes can be made to tours or meals after that date. The following Reunion Registration Form has been updated to be fillable. When you bring it up you can type your information in the fields, save the completed form to your device, and send it electronically to Dave Blake at reunion@461st.org. If you want to print the form to fill out manually and mail to Dave, that option is still available. Once you send your completed Registration Form to Dave, you will still need to pay for your registration. A number of banks now support Zelle that provides the ability to send money electronically at no cost to you or the reunion. This is the best way to pay for your registration. Send your Zelle payment to Dave at reunion@461st.org or 9135234044. If your bank doesn't support Zelle, you can still send a check to Dave at his address on the Registration Form. If you need help using Zelle, call your bank. Additionally you can pay registration fees through Venmo. Here are the “rules” for using Venmo: • Send payments to: Fifteenth-Air-Force-Reunion • To avoid paying an additional fee, payment must be made with a bank account number or debit card. • Credit card payments will incur a 3% processing fee. If a credit card is used, add 3% of the total to the payment.
