There’s quite a few events going on in the DFW area this weekend. Oktoberfest in Southlake, Good Guys Car Show at Texas Motor Speedway (that I plan on attending this weekend), Pantego Fest, the Texas State Fair and the Alliance Airshow. That’s just to name a few – I’m sure there’s plenty more.
We had a chance to go to the Fort Worth Alliance Airshow a couple years ago. Personally, I love air shows (the crowd not so much) but the planes are fantastic to watch and check out! I love how some of them swoop down and almost touch the ground but just go whizzing by only a couple feet off the runway! Whoohoo!The best part is that it is FREE!
It’s also really nice to see the autographs for the kids! There were many pilots on site to talk to everyone about their planes. (Obviously, someone had to fly them there!)
This is a seat I’m good with never being in. It’s almost already sitting too high off the ground for me.
Sy and his Ft. Worth plane.
I’m good with never being on this one either. I think I’ll just stay on the ground.
You couldn’t pay me a million bucks….
You can tour the big ones!
“It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a plane!”
You see everything! This guy flew right off the top of the camper!
Alliance Airport has a really nice Memorial walking in. Be sure to swing by and check it out. Many of the planes are military. It’s very honorable what these men and women do for our country everyday.
The event can get a bit crowded so if you’d like a spot where you can park a chair and get a good view, I’d suggest getting there early. After we left the airport, we also saw cars parked along the side of the highway so I guess that is always an option (if it’s legal?). The event was a lot of fun to go to so I would suggest checking it out, especially if you have little kids (or grown men who are like kids when it comes to this).
Have you ever been to an airshow? How’d you like it?
This is neat! I should see about bringing Lennox & Henry sometime!
They would probably love it although they may need some ear protectors (just in case)!
My parents went to an air show in GA this weekend, and they loved it! It looks like it is a good time to be had. this week is fleet week in SF. I always hear the planes, haven’t gotten to see them yet. Maybe this is the year.
Hi Chelsea! Yea -You should definitely check it out! I went to one off Lake Champlain in Burlington, VT years ago and they did it over the water which was a lot more exciting in my perspective (and had the coast guard do some stuff as well). Are they having it over the SF Bay? That’d be pretty cool! If you go, make sure to blog about it! 🙂
