Generally from a radio monitoring standpoint, you can expect a group of
hobbyists to be parked observing/monitoring on Friday 7/26/05 for "Preshow 
Arrival" at the civilian airport side parking area.....

So mark you calendar now and plan to attend.  It's always a great time & 
Barnes is different in that there's actually some grassy areas to sit down 
on (watch out for the fire ants!!! :) ) so you aren't on the hot tarmac..

As the show gets closer I'll work on posting the potential radio frequencies 
to monitor to include aero, military aero, & public safety.
