<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Free Admission. Free Parking. Blankets and lawn chairs are permitted. No coolers or pets allowed.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Gates open at 9:00. Show runs from 11:00 to 4:00.</FONT>
