After working almost 8 weeks straight of mids without a day off, I decided to take a weekend and go back to Dallas for the annual Alliance Airshow in Fort Worth. Since I was going to be in town, I stopped by Frontier of Flight Museum at Dallas Love Field where my good friend Chris is the curator. I got there on Thursday and the Museum was hosting a Purchase a Business Jet Seminar from some bank where they had 4 Business Jets on display for the attendees. I got to tag along and take a peek at a couple of the jets there. (see the pictures below)

After the Business Jets left, I got to go fly with the channel 8 traffic reporter on the Zebra Air Helicopter. For about 40 minutes, we flew around Dallas checking out the traffic and allowed me to take some pictures of dallas from the air

Including the SR-71 simulator that Chris just got from NASA and an opportuniy to get in one very special and historically significantly vehicle:)
