What better way to catch up with old friends and make new ones than while standing next to a Douglas DC-3 with hors d\u0026#39;oeuvres and a drink from the open bar? Following the cocktail hour, enjoy a seated dinner, a YJFC retrospective, and remarks (including videos!) from special guest speaker, CDR Frank Weisser USN (Ret.), former Blue Angels Lead Solo Pilot and Operations Officer. After dinner, it\u0026#39;s time to cut loose on the dance floor and show off your best moves before heading off to bed to dream about your next flight!\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn addition to the banquet, the YJFC will mark this milestone with a weekend of events, including a welcome reception and an airport open house at Peachtree-Dekalb Airport (PDK).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWe thank you for your patience as we continue to work towards making it safe to celebrate this momentous occasion.
