Our Mission
To enhance and accredit the cohesiveness, esprit de corps, and traditions of valor of
rotary wing aircrews that flew in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam Era.
To seek out, using whatever means available, individuals who piloted rotary wing
aircraft in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam era and inform them of the existence of the
VHPA and encourage all eligible individuals to become members. Membership is open to all helicopter pilots who flew in
Southeast Asia during the Vietnam era (1961-1975).
The VHPA has a membership of over
14,000 (8,000 dues current) helicopter pilots from around the world out of the
approximately 40,000 who served as helicopter
pilots in the Vietnam War.
In addition to an annual reunion held around July 4th, members keep in touch informally
through mini-reunions (local get togethers) throughout the year and through the Internet
on VHFCN (http://www.vhfcn.org) and Heli-Vets The VHPA is a social organization only and
has no political agenda.

magazines, a membership directory and a calendar each year and periodically publishes
historical reference directories, CD-ROMs and DVDs.
