This site is dedicated as a memorial for the late F16VPA member Capt. Warren B. "Reefer" Sneed who was tragically killed in a F-16 midair collision over the Japanese Sea Nov. 13, 2000. Reefer joined the F-16 Viper Pilots Association in January 2000, the 14th FS and Misawa being his first operational assignment in the F-16. Before that, he had flown with 309th FS "Wildducks"at Luke Air Force Base. We all regret his loss and will be deeply missed by his friends and family.
"All of his squadron mates and Air Force buds will miss him." - Capt. Keith "Chewie" Surowiec, 14th FS
"The entire Misawa community feels the loss of Capt. Sneed and our thoughts and prayers go out to the Sneed family. Warren died in the defense of his country. His spirit, strength of character and constant smile are legacies that can now be used to bring us all together in this tough time." - Brig.Gen. "Chip" Utterback, 35th FW/CC
