    they will have these aircraft:

    Most of these aircraft have ties to D/FW.
    B-24's were built at what is now Lockheed in FtW
    North American was at Hensley Field in Grand Prairie.
    The TP-51C and my Globe Swift were both built there.
    ME-262 is a replica started at Meachum Field

    "909" is from the movie "Memphis Belle"

    I'm planning on going to the Denison show.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Ms. Cone and I made it out to old Perrin Field this afternoon. I really enjoyed it. The $12 fee is good for all three days of the show, so I'll be going back on Wed. My CRS kicked in before we headed out, I forgot my camera. We got to climb through the B-24 and the B-17. I'm down to 175 lbs now, but I still found it very tight on the walk way through the bomb bays.

    Everyone of the crew and staff that I talked to was very helpful and friendly.
