14th Annual Extortion 17 Ride
2025-08-02 08:00 - 11:00 | YNot Pizza – Great Neck Sq, 2102 Great Neck Square Shopping Center, Virginia Beach, VA, 23454, United States
Extortion 17 was the call sign of a U.S. Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter that was shot down in Afghanistan in 2011. The crash was the greatest loss of life to Naval Special Warfare since the start of the Afghan War in 2001. The Extortion 17 Ride is an annual event that honors the 30 American service members and military dog who died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan in 2011. Here is a link to a good write up about this tragedy. Once the ride is over, you can go or stay at YNot Pizza for lunch and beverages.

The Virginia Patriot Guard (VPG) hosts this event, with the Virginia Beach Police providing an escort for the ride around Virginia Beach. The event includes a ceremony honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom.
We have a change of location where to meet. We will not be meeting at Lendy’s Cafe this year. We will be meeting at the YNot Pizza in Great Neck Square Shopping Center. between 8:00-15AM. See the Flyer (the red “Download Flyer” button on this page). For the address, see the blue “VENUE” box on this webpage. Also, we’d like to know if your passenger seat will be empty. We have VIPs wishing to ride in our Corvettes! I’m not sure how many spots we have available for our cars. Last year we had a 20-car limit. I still haven’t heard about a car limit for us, but I do have an updated parking lot map which shows where cars are to park (in magenta/purple above the motorcycles). Sign up early so you don’t get cut-off and moved to an alternates list!

Event lead: Bill Kaelin – Cell ph#: 757-343-4873

Here’s a list of beachcombers (listed by car) participating in the ride and if your passenger seat will be empty and okay for a VIP to ride along:

The annual Corvettes at Carlisle event features nearly 3,000 Corvettes representing all generations of America’s classic sports car. Guests flock to Carlisle for this event – an event that was “name dropped” on the Jimmy Kimmel Live TV show in December of 2018. Corvette enthusiasm is contagious with participation in autocross, exhaust contests, seminars and more. The excitement continues with an incredible parts shopping experience, including an automotive flea market with a wide variety of vendors, an all-Corvette car corral and Manufacturers Midway. Bring your Corvette or walk around and look at the amazing variety on display on the Fun Field.
