So, did anyone by chance happen to visit me at Barksdale AFB this weekend to see the airshow? I was the guy waaaay past the flight line in the fenced off area that is the Munitions Storage Area. I was inside my office all day. I waved from my desk, but didn't get any responses. :frown:

Missed it.

But I did stop at Barksdale for gas once, back around 1987 or 1988. Big runway, as I recall...
