Oregon Trail Chapter

Oregon is one of two States without an Active Duty post, but that has not stopped us from building a large and active Aviation support group. We shifted our focus to supporting our families (Movie Night, Christmas parties, scholarships, school visits), Aviators/Soldiers (social events, coffee, OSM, MOB parties, State Conference hospitality suite, membership drives, Lifetime membership knife presentation, disable aviation vet events), while taking an active role in preserving our aviation history (OV-1 Mohawk project, AAAA articles). We have also been supporting AAAA at the National level by volunteering to test the new AAAA website, manning booths during the conference, and submitting articles and picture to the AAAA magazine.

Partnerships: OTC4A has partnered with Yellow Ribbon for mobilization events, FRG and Serving Our Soldiers On The Homefront for the Christmas party and Movie Night event, Oregon Officers Association for the State Conference hospitality suite, Forward Assist for our disabled Aviation Veteran support events, and Gary Clark and the Elk Lodge #336 for the OV-1 Mohawk restoration.
