The Marine Fighter Foray now includes all Marine Fighter Communities. After the 2022 Marine Phantom Phoray, the Steering Committee decided to open up the Foray to include all Marine fighter aircraft categories. This decision ensures all Marine fighter families will always have a platform and venue to gather and practice what Marines do best… continue to define “camaraderie” by reliving and sharing tales of past, providing a setting where “senior” Marines meet and talk fighter jets with “younger” Marines, remember and honor our fellow Marines that have filed their final flight plan, make new and strengthen friendships and learn about current and future Marine policies, deployments and Marine air readiness.
So… what’s next? FIGHT’S ON!
The MARINE FIGHTER FORAY is on the flight schedule for October 14 – 18, 2026. The Foray will be at the same location as the 2022 Phantom Phoray: Hyatt Regency Dallas, 300 Reunion Blvd, Dallas, TX 75207

And… the Foray is not just for air crew. We highly encourage any and all Marine enlisted, officer, maintenance, admin, support and family members of the Marine fighter community to attend. Also, if your squadron already holds squadron reunions, consider piggybacking off the Foray and have your reunion concurrent with the Foray in Dallas. Contact the Foray Ops O for details.
The Marine Fighter Foray schedule and venue will replicate the 2022 Phantom Phoray, only much larger since the Foray is being opened up to all Marine Fighter communities. There will be:
So, keep the comm lines open and stay up freq. We’ll be sending periodic informational emails about the Foray as the Steering Committee continues to develop the venue’s events and schedules.
