Ramey Air Force Base has been closed for an extended period of time, but the Coast Guard makes it's home the. It is now called USCG Air Station Borinquen. The web site is as follows, http://www.uscg.mil/d7/units/as-borinquen/index.htm. But it is not used strictly by the Coast Guard, all the US Services still use the "defunct" air base in one way or another. 68.45.67.173 20:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Factual errors

I made extensive changes due to numerous factual errors. Here is what I remember changing:

1. Aguadilla's most famous feature is its beaches yet they were barely mentioned and the fact that they are home to surfing world championships was not even brought up. I corrected that.
2. Ramey Air Force Base has been closed for over 30 years yet according to this article it was still there!
3. Rafael Hernandez airport is not adjacent to the base, it is what used to be the base's runway.
4. The Pirate Cofresi was not from Aguadilla, he was from Cabo Rojo.
5. Jose de Diego, Aguadilla's most illustrious child was completely left out.
6. Aguadilla has changed a lot since its fishing days, but according to this article it was still a small town.
7. I deleted useless and highly volatile information on specific airlines that use the airport, it was simply unnecessary in this article.

About Ramey Air Force base, most people in Aguadilla still refer to the area as the Ramey Base. The base has closed but its facilities are still in operations for different uses, like the ariport you mentioned above, a Head Start center, a gold course, a school, etc., and the "aguadillanos" still call it La Base Ramey.

[edit] Contribution

I would like to use the following format to expand the municipalies of Puerto Rico. I want the Puerto Rico Portal to look great and enjoy by many. Please review Adjuntas, Aguada, Aguadilla, Mayaguez and Utuado.

The areas that are missing information can be updated on future edits. Once all 78 municipalities are complete, maybe have a final cleanup to remove sections. What say all.

By having a standard - Viewers can go directly to the section they want with eaze.

Many of the municipalites have very little or no info - Let me know because this work is time consuming and I am trying to help when I find time.
