    This is the home page for the 70th Air Refueling Squadron, KC-97. Although the 70th had it's humble beginnings with the KC 97, through the years a lot of fine young airmen have flown under the 70th's banner. After the KC 97 years came the KC 135s and now the KC 10.

    This site is maintained by Enrique Tabyanan. It is designed to keep current and future members up to date on the information in these pages. I keep the data base for the association at the web site.

    We are a group of former members of the 70th Air Refueling Squadron and the 70th Organizational Maintenance Squadron that keeps in contact with our old friends, to renew old ties and have a good time. Our organization is non profit and there are no dues. We rely solely on the contributions of our members. We have a mailing list to keep our active members informed of other members and our reunions.

    If you were a member of the 70th Air Refueling Squadron or was stationed at Little Rock AFB, assigned to any squadron, regardless of the time period or type aircraft, contact Enrique Tabyanan tabyanan@70thara.com for further information.

    These pictures are of some of the finest men and their families that have ever served this nation. You must remember that these people are enjoying the twilight of their years after many years of dedicated service to their country. Some served in World War II, some in Korea and all in Viet Nam. To this day they stand ready to answer the call should this country and her people need them.     We are proud of the eleven reunions that we have had. Hopefully we will have more in the future.
