Wings of Gold, Summer 2001
ANA 2001, which took place at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel in Southern California was a memorable gathering and demonstrated the Association's profound and abiding support of active duty Naval Aviation. The five-star hotel was extremely accommodating; the food was superb; MGEN Charles Bolden, Commander of the 3rd Marine Air Wing, gave an inspiring talk at the Keynote Luncheon; the Friday night Salute to Active Duty at the San Diego Aerospace Museum was a big hit; the Aviation Flag Officer panel told it straight; the Saturday night banquet with CNO ADM Vern Clark as guest speaker was terrific; and ANA's annual awards luncheon held on Friday shined the light of recognition for outstanding achievement in 2000 on officers, Sailors and civilian supporters of Naval Aviation.
