The Inaugural Air Force Association Gerrity Chapter / 552nd ACW Chili Cook-Off is in the books!

Not many chili cook-offs can say they had an F-35 fly-over, but - hey, it happened! We had awesome Celebrity Judges, including KOCO 5 News Pilot Chase Rutledge, (who almost went down after the first bite of some REALLY spicy chili!), our very own Col. Chuck DeBellevue, Vietnam ACE, and AFA National Director Col. Mark Tarpley. Special thanks to 552d Air Control Wing Commander Keven Coyle and Vice Commander Col Wayne Frost, CMSgt Michelle Browning, AND Maj Catherine Buckner for hosting a phenomenal event!
