Didn't do any off roading, just went to see a couple events.
Got to go see Game 3 of the World Series and then Sunday I went to an air show at Alliance airport north of Ft. Worth.
On the way out to the air show on Sunday around 10:45 AM I passed by a black Raptor going west on HWY 114 towards Grapevine, I honked as I went by, was that anyone here?
Anyhow, here's just a few pics of the many I took.

Well if they don't win another one (and it's not looking good at this point), at least I can say I was at the world series game that the Rangers won at their home field. lol

Very cool that you got to see Fifi. The last time I saw her was in Midland (home base for CAF and Fifi) with all of her engines out for overhaul.

Cool,

Ya, FiFi stationed here locally. I remember when I used to work out at the airport and got to talk with a lot of the pilots. They always told the same jokes but they was still some what funny...although maybe offensive to any Japanese viewers/members.

Atomic Bomb,....Built is the U.S. and tested in Japan.

You know why we only dropped two bombs? That is all we had.
