Air Power Expo 2011 NAS Fort Worth

One of the fastest growing airshows in Texas is the NAS Ft.Worth Air Power Expo 2011. After several years of absence, NAS Ft.Worth hosted an outstanding Open House this past April. As an official Centennial of Naval Aviation event, the US Navy was well represented with the world famous Blue Angels as well as many top notch civilian acts. Many aircraft representing special CONA paint schemes were in attendance. This photo essay the highlights of the show.

 A very special thanks to Don Ray and his PAO staff who accommodated the TMAJ photographers.

To start off with is a bit of a blast from the past. Showing off the great restoration work is the infamous F-14A from VF-202 as well as an adversary scooter from NAS Dallas. A bit of the new is represented by the all black F-5F from VFC-13.

The US Navy contingent was well represented with many CONA painted aircraft as well a beautiful Commander's bird from VFA-94.
