Some things never change, one of them is the sprit that always exists at these great get togethers of the old "Hughes Airwest" gang that occur every fall in Phoenix. Once known as the Holiday Inn, the property has changed hands and is now a Crowne Plaza and it is a great place to gather 270+ old friends. Such was the setting on Saturday evening, November 1, 2005. If you weren't there, you were most likely talked about.
This year's festivities included a presentation to the committee that does the work year after year to make these events happen. Hedy Hughes, long time Exec Secretary to Hughes Airwest President, Russ Stephenson read a personel letter from Russ to each of the eight committee members (including Hedy) thanking them for their efforts. Each member also received a copy of "Hughes Airwest - The Movie" chronicled elsewhere on this website. All eight members of this hard working group can be seen in the first photo on the left in the second row. The enlarged version that you can obtain by clicking on the thumbnail has their names at the bottom.
Below are the first wave of photos from this year's get together that we were able to take. Just "click" on any of the smaller images for a larger view. If you were there and took pictures, we want them. If they are in digital form and you can email, that's great. If you have prints and can mail them to us, we'll scan and then return to you. As we receive more photos, they will be added with credit to the photographer. By the way.... the Hughes Airwest flag you see in the background of many of the photos is the same flag that flew over the corporate headquarters in San Mateo for several years.
