Calling all current Squadron 86 members, alumni, families, and friends!
In August 1976, San Francisco Cadet Squadron 86 officially began its mission of service, leadership, and aerospace education. Half a century later, our legacy is still going strong—and we want to celebrate this incredible milestone with the people who made it possible.
Whether you served decades ago or are currently in uniform, you are a vital part of the Squadron 86 family. Friends and family of all squadron members are warmly invited to attend. Please join us for a 50th Anniversary Reunion Potluck to reconnect with old friends, swap stories, make new friends, and celebrate 50 years of excellence.
