    Default This is for me a big honor..

    The US Air Force and the US Army picked our Ranch as there prime base for yesterdays training..

    Jepp..they landed two Black Hawk Helicopters at the ranch and my new barn was the "target" for the Wart Hogs flying all day here..

    Lots of fun..

    Take a look and excuse me for off topic...!!

    Wow Lars.....that is a real honor. I'm going to show these to my son-in-law next time he's over. He was an avionics guy in the marines and rode in a MH-53 in the first wave that went into Afghanistan in 2001.

    That must have been an unbelievable experience to witness the training. Thanks for sharing the photos.

    Lars, thanks for all you wonderful posts. Last week when BRF was down, one of my biggest fears was that we'd lost what Lars had posted.

    Whatever Lars post, everyone reads!

    I kind of figured you just bought that helicopter. Helicopters bring back bad memories of our friend Christolbal....or however you spell it...

    Don't EVER stop posting...

    Did you post those two pictures of me that were on Facebook here on BRF???

    Default Paris pictures

    Not to make you angry Ron, but the picture of you in the boat you co-drove with Jimbo looks like a slotted deck Scotti. The second picture looks like a Molinari. What year is those pictures sipposed to be from?
