A longtime Fort Worth tradition is canceled this year. The air show that has taken place at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport for the last 32 years will not happen this fall.
For many years, they have run a kids discovery zone at the air show. That community outreach was a critical opportunity for exposure to the museum’s programs for kids, adults and veterans.
"Here in this community and the Metroplex -- where we built planes for 46 countries and 27 iconic airplanes have come out of here -- to not have a major air show, is really kind of saddening," said Hodgson. "Depending on what kind of performances you’re going to have, the size of that box changes. If you're going to have acts like the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds, the box becomes larger because the airplanes are higher speed. They go higher, and do all of these things,” explained Hodgson.
