We took the kids to the Air Show in Fort Worth
Coming in for a landing.
Safe landing
Staying hydrated
Enjoying the show
We got to see he Blue Angels
The Blue Angels use a United States Marine Corps C-130T
Hercules nicknamed "Fat Albert" for logistics, carrying
spare parts, equipment, and to carry support
personnel between shows.
The "Blues" F/A-18 aircraft are former fleet aircraft that are
nearly combat-ready. According to the Navy, they can be
repainted and readied for combat service in just 72 hours.
Significant modifications to each aircraft include removal of the
aircraft gun and replacement with the tank that contains the
paraffin-based smoked oil used in demonstrations,...
installation of inverted fuel pumps to increase the time aircraft
can spend inverted without fuel starvation, and outfitting
with the control stick spring system that is used to
facilitate more precise aircraft control inputs.
We left before the show ended to avoid all the traffic
and we watched the end of the show of one
of the streets near the air field.
The "Angels" put on a nice show.
