About the Association
Our mission is to promote the commraderaie and traditions of the Red River Valley Fighter Pilot Association,"the River Rats,” for those who have come before us and to current members and those wanting to become a River Rat. While flying fighters is not a requirement to be a River Rat, we are united by a shared "Aviation Warrior Spirt.”
Born in the flak filled skies of North Vietnam…
Forged in combat through camaraderie and brotherhood…
Dedicated to each other and our fellow warriors…
