Members of the UL Afterburners committee gathered Saturday afternoon in front of the F-16 jet on the school grounds shortly after the decommissioned aircraft was permanently placed on a metal mount.

Displaying a jet airplane at the school has long been a goal of alumni and supporters of the Jets. This most recent, successful effort, dates to 2018.

Barnesville Area News reporter Josie Burkhart chronicled the project in an article that published Friday afternoon. Read it here.
