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 aircrew.  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:

  • Symposiums
  • F-18 and F-35 status and combat deployment briefs to include Iran-Iraq and Afghanistan battle strategies and operations; and of course… individual “There I was” stories/yarns/tales
  • Flight jacket / squadron shirts happy hours
  • Squadron dinners
  • Marine Corps University Interviews
  • Professional Group Displays (e.g., Martin Baker ejection seats, Lockheed Martin F-35 simulator, Top Gun)
  • Golf tournament
  • And… much, much more

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.
