Day or night, rain or shine.

The mission is impossible without the maintainers and the countless hours put into making sure we’re lethal and mission ready.

A few weeks back, our president, Akhil Surapaneni, had the opportunity to attend the 70th anniversary Tailhook ‘26 convention in Reno, Nevada. Akhil was able to meet people from all across the Navy, a majority being aviators, and people representing companies that make up the biggest names in defense. Some of things Akhil did there was try out the multitude of hyper realistic flight simulators, attend industry panels, and enjoy great food. He came back having built new connections across industry and military to continue growing our organization. As the National Defense Society here at NC State, this exactly the types of opportunities we plan to give our members.

A big shoutout to the @natdefsoc for giving our chapter this opportunity, and the @tailhookassociation for being so generous to extend and invite to students and get us involved in defense and security. by @tailhookassociation

#tbt July 2004 EA-6B Prowlers from FRS VAQ-129 practice night tanking off a KC-135 over Eastern Washington State. It was really cool how the setting sun popped out just at the right time in our orbit.

HOOK ’26 was a blast! ⚓️✈️

Our AIRION team and friends had an incredible time at Tailhook @tailhookassociation showcasing the AIRUS system, connecting with the Naval Aviation community, and supporting the warfighters who keep pushing the mission forward.

A special thanks to one of the most legendary fighter pilots of all time and Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Royce Williams for stopping by—and, of course, making his annual “Fly High, Stay Dry” beer mug pickup. 🍺

Tailhook, you were great to us. We’ll see you next year!

FLY HIGH. STAY DRY.
