Anybody going to the airshow at Alliance Airport in Ft. Worth this weekend?

http://www.allianceairshow.com/Home.aspx

We're taking a C-17 down on Thursday to practice the demo and then heading back home. On Friday morning we are coming back and staying until Monday. We'll be doing the demo and static display all weekend.

If anybody makes it out, be sure and come by the airplane and holler at me. Special request for the photographers, I'd appreciate seeing any shots yall can get of us!

I'm planning on coming on Saturday. If I decide to walk through the aircraft, Brad, I'll be sure to ask for you. Now, it there's a KC-135R present - there's a real man's airplane! :wink:

Jimmy,

So far, I'm coming to Houston with the C-17. Hopefully nothing changes!


I was told today that the Alliance airshow wouldn't publish a schedule until the day of the show for "security reasons".

That is me! The wind was a bear to deal with today. I hope it's better for the weekend. We'll be back down there around noon tomorrow and come home on Monday.
