2017 Reunion

The 2017 Reunion was held in Witchita, Kansas from June 15 through The reservation deadline is May 28, so Register Now!

We were excited that Cathy Debbrecht decided to handle this Reunion for us all. She was in charge of the hotel, sightseeing, and banquets. You can catch up with her and Don at the hotel.

This year, the B-29 Wings of the Marianas 2017 Reunion headquarters was at the Hyatt Regency in Wichita, Kansas. The hotel is beautifully situated along the Arkansas River with great views. It is close to a variety of places to see, things to do, and great spots for food and live entertainment.

  • On Friday,  an optional trip to the B-29 Museum at Pratt Army Airfield*. It was be an all-day excursion with lunch, returning to the hotel by 6:00 p.m. in time to rest before dinner in the hotel.
