The Airfield Fall...From the Star-Telegram article:<br /><br /><i>The Airfield Falls Trailhead has been planned since 2011 when the water district paid to have a McDonnell-Douglas C-9 from the Naval Air Station Fort Worth disassembled.</i><br /><br />Wouldn't the TRWD want an aircraft with a real Fort Worth history to it?<br /><br />The C-9 in question was at NAS Fort Worth in storage, but it never operated out of Fort Worth as far as I can tell. As a matter of fact the plane was in a squadron out of NAS Whidbey Island and named <i>The City Of Bremerton</i>. Before that it was at NAS Memphis and called <i>The City Of Millington</i>.<br /><br />Photos and renderings of the proposed sculpture still show the markings and/or tail code of NAS Whidbey Island. <br /><br />I will stop here since I doubt anyone is interested in Navy Bureau Numbers, Manufacturer's Serial Numbers, or how the plane was Struck Off Charge. <br /><br />Happy 4th to ya.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
