A huge thanks to Billy for inviting me down to spend the day with him on the ramp. It was so cool to spend the whole day watching the crew men & women prep the jets and then receive them after each flight. With some help of Billy and Mark Mangini I put this report together. I hope you like it and the pictures <img src="http://www.topgunphotography.net/photos/albums/Upload/Barnesramp06/Barnes06042.jpg" border=0> http://topgunphotography.net/basevisits ... /index.htm <img src="http://www.x-plane.org/home/topgun/sigs/A10logo.jpg" border=0> http://topgunphotography.net/index.htm Edited by - Top Gun on Nov 04 2006 10:52

Great job Dave. I forwarded the link to some "Hog specialists" I know at Barnes and Willow Grove. I'm sure they will appreciate the write-up and the pics. "Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget, in time, that men have died to win them." Franklin Deleano Roosevelt

The weather you have there in MA is insane. There's a little over a fot of snow on the ground here now. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
