Airshow held at Carswell AFB, Ft. Worth
 

Here are some pics from the airshow this weekend at Carswell AFB. If you've ever seen Jimmy Stewart's movie, "Strategic Air Command", then you've seen Carswell. They used to fly B-36's, B-47's, and B-52's from there.



The Snowbirds fly much tighter formations, sniffed he.

I knew C-5's were big.....
 

For those of you who don't realize how big Galaxies are, here's a pic of a B-52 being loaded into one.

Great nose art
 

Here's a shot of a privately owned BAC Strikemaster with the owner on the wing. Not too bad!

Big chopper
 

Here's a shot of a Sea Stallion. the most powerful chopper in the U.S. inventory.

One of my favourites
 

Marine Corps Harrier

Snake with a bite
 

Sea Cobra

Our museum's B17, "Chuckie"
 

Can't forget the old stuff!

Now we have to establish, if it is the strikemaster that is lovely, or its owner, who unless my eyes are failing is a lovely lady.

May be she needs a crew chief.

Great collection of photos, much appreciated.

Perhaps a more appropriate name would be Strikemistress? She introduced herself as ???? Rice, I couldn't hear over the F-16 demonstration...the author perhaps? That would go along with the nose art.
