NOTE: Welcome to the new look NavyMats.org. Sorry for the delay in updating

the website, we've been going through a new design. Still some bugs to work

out, but we hope you enjoy the new look for 2008.

This is the home page of the Navy MATS Reunion Group. We are a non-profit organization, dedicated to preserving the history of those Naval Air Transport Squadrons that were detached from the Naval Command and attached to the MILITARY AIR TRANSPORT SERVICE, and the MILITARY AIRLIFT COMMAND during the years 1948 to 1967. The men and women of these squadrons were diverted from their naval careers to serve with the United States Air Force, and established long term relationships while serving in these unique units. In 1981, these former shipmates banded together to form the Navy Mats Reunion Group to preserve and memorialize the exploits of these units that have gone largely unheralded in the archives of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and military history.
