A Westover Fly-Inn

More than a dozen A-10 Thunderbolt II's, assigned to Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., passed through Westover as they made their way overseas. Westover's long runways, ample ramp space and geographic location, make it an ideal stop for military units on their way overseas. (U.S. Air Force photo by SrA. Kelly Galloway)

WESTOVER AIR RESERVE BASE, Mass. -- A private photographer will take full-length photos (at nominal fees) at the 75th Anniversary Military Ball in the Base Hangar Oct. 4. Tickets are still available; please contact your unit's first sergeant for more information.

Westover's Company Grade Officers Council recently raised $700 to sponsor 14 Airmen to attend the ball. All Airmen from the rank of airman basic to senior airman who attend will have their names automatically entered in the raffle. If their name is drawn the night of the ball, they will be awarded $50 to cover the cost of his or her ticket.

Command CMSgt. David Carbin strongly encourages all Airmen to buy their tickets to the ball before Sept. 7 for their chance to win. "This is just one incentive for Airmen to attend the ball," the command chief said. "But I hope that everyone will show pride and come out for this historic night."
