[Elfsea] If you are not travelling this weekend...

That does sound very cool, but we're taking the thunder and lightning of
Elfsea to Mendersham this weekend.  :-)

THUNDER FOR LUNCH, NAPALM FOR DINNER. 

Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth (old Carswell AFB) will be
having their first Open House and Air Show in four years this Saturday, May
15.

This show is a little unusual in that it will be mostly local talent.  All
of the base's active and reserve duty squadrons will be participating.
These include aircraft from the Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Army and Texas
Air Nartional Guard - F/A-18's, F-16's, C-130's, etc.

In addition; Dallasite Jan Collmer will fly an aerobatic routine in his FINA
Extra 300L, an F-14 Tomcat will be coming in from Oceana, Va., a WW-II P-51
and P-47, and a Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier "Jump Jet" will be flying.  A
Lockheed company test pilot will also be doing an F-16 flight demostration
similar to the one flown at international air shows.  Several other aircraft
will be on static display, from modern jets to WW-II warbirds. 

And since there will be no headline act like the Blue Angels or T-Birds, a
mock battle will climax the show.  A B-52 Stratofortress and F/A 18 Hornets
will make low-level high-speed simulated bomb runs on the airstrip, followed
by army paratroopers jumping from a C-130 and helicopters delivering Humvees
and APC's to simulate a ground assault on the airbase.  Expect lots of
pyrotechnics.

Free Admission.  Free Parking.  Blankets and lawn chairs are permitted.  No
coolers or pets allowed. 

Gates open at 9:00.  Show runs from 11:00 to 4:00. 

Check your local weekend guides for more information.

sharp sword.)
