What to do @ Dallas/ fort worth Tx area this weekend?

Thu May 31, 2012 5:32 pm

Hi Everyone,
Any suggestions on what to do in the fort worth/ dallas area over the weekend? Any Warbird activity around? May be a dumb question but I didn't have time to research before coming out here.

May be looking to rent a room or small Apt in the area @ JRB Fort Worth if anybody knows of anything... Thanks!
-Robert

If you are into Commercial Aviation at all there is the C.R. Smith Museum, which is a museum on the history of American Airlines. They have a real DC-3 in American Airlines colors on display in the museum. It is located near the DFW airport
