C-121 Constellation located in Aguadilla Puerto Rico

After reading Ken Coombs comments on the C-121 in the recent “View”, I could not agree more! I can’t afford a big sum, but I will put up the first $100. My first plane trip was on a Constellation. I heard my parents talk about me and Mom coming home from Ramey on a “Super Connie” since I was knee high. That C-121 truly represents the best times at Ramey for many, many people.

Lori Mischke forwarded a message from our website. Pat Allen and his wife Ginger were going home to Ramey again.  After a few e-mails it was all set.

 

Pat and Ginger arrived at the Museum right on schedule. This I’m sure to the fact that Pat was a      B-52 navigator while stationed at Ramey. I was so focused on Pat’s story that I forgot to take pictures of the Allen’s at the Museum. That’s a first for me!!!

The RAFBHA had committed placing Flagpoles at the Museum facilities. (see “Flagpoles for the Museum” article). I’m delighted to report this project has now been accomplished.

We want to give our thanks, not only to all the RAFBHA Board Members, but to Gerry Giles (Board At Large), Jorge Gonzalez (Museum Associate Director) and a superb WASCO Team. With all these “boots on the ground” there was no doubt the project would end as a “Mission Accomplished”.

Just received a wonderful message from Community Liaison for RAFBHA, Gerry Giles, “Three flagpoles and two flags now installed this 31 December 2011!!!! Hooray!”

Board members, Gerry Giles and Ricardo Busquets  have worked very hard to make this flagpole project come about.  The Ramey Flag will be raised soon followed by the lighting of the flagpoles. This is just one of the major accomplishments made by RAFBHA this past year.

As an officer for RAFBHA I have truly enjoyed this past year  [read more →]

The RAFBHA received an e-mail from Mr. Pat Donnelly. The message was received thru our website and forwarded to the Museum by our webmaster and RAFBHA Board Secretary Lori Mischke.

SMSGT Donnelly has passed away but his son  [read more →]
