In my old henria bar days you had 4 bodies for a 500# MK82 and 6 for a 1000# MK 83.
Put that all together with a A-6E at El Cenro and I'm starting to hurt just thinking about it.

I have a DVD of field assembly of the P-47 Thunderbolt where it talks of getting 50 men to carry and attach each wing!
In the video, the wing looks like it is a piece of picnic food stolen by a bunch of ants, nothing but legs. I'll try to get a still of it. It is classic!
