>Sorry guy ... I don't know him what does he do (we have somewhere around 2000 people here ) .
>I'd like to get a tour of the C-5A Galaxy aircraft for those who would be interested in this and have a get together at the same time , but here is the catch it would have to be here at Westover ARB , Ma. since I can't get them to fly a C-5A Galaxy to New England Dyno and Tuning .
Maybe next summer . I would have to get together with the "PR" guys who handle this type of thing .
Let me know what you guys think .

Hmmm. Yeah that sounds great. I'd go. What a great opportunity to see those planes. Especially cause I see them fly over my house. Plus a few Shots of my car under or in front of it. Sounds like a blast. Then again it's only 15 min. for me to get there. Maybe we can havedo some 1/4 mile runs down the runway??? Measuring out 1320ft can't be that hard.
