KAFW/KDFW: Alliance Airshow/Founders Plaza Redux-10/24-26/2014
Hello All,
I am back with more winged action from here in Texas. This time I decided to make my first visit to the Alliance airshow in 2 years, and it was a much more pleasant affair not having pneumonia this time! I also had the distinct pleasure of entertaining a good friend from my time down in Sydney, so we also made it over to DFW for a little spotting. So now, photos!
First off, arrivals at Alliance after the practice airshow
