FAC ASSOCIATION MISSION

The Forward Air Controllers Association is a fraternal organization of personnel who supported and flew the Forward Air Control mission during the war in Southeast Asia.  The organization serves as a rallying point for its members by sponsoring reunions; it is a depository for their stories, their history and a record of what they did.  Forward Air Controllers represented several countries, different branches of service.  They flew a variety of aircraft and range in rank from the lowest to the highest.  It was a chancy mission, many gave all, yet the job satisfaction was through the overhead. As a result bonds were formed and a legacy worth preserving too. 

The fundamental purpose of the Forward Air Controller's Association is defined in Article II of the By-Laws.  They are:

• Remember those we left behind, and carry on programs to perpetuate their memory.
• Promote Forward Air Control (FAC) camaraderie.
• Preserve the FAC history.
• Promote the social welfare and common good of the community.
• Assist our disabled, hospitalized, and needy veterans, and members of the United States Armed Forces, and their dependents, widows and orphans.
• Conduct programs for patriotic, charitable, literary, or educational purposes, not limited to, but particularly in any such matters having to do with Forward Air Control.

The Forward Air Controllers Association is a non-commercial, non-partisan, non-sectarian, non-profit organization organized under Section 501(c)19 of the Internal Revenue Code (click here).
