Our Next Meeting will be
Thursday March 4th, 2010
7:00 PM
at
American Airlines C. R. Smith Museum
south of DFW Airport at Hwy 360 and F.A.A. Rd.

Thursday March 4th at 7:00 PM in the American Airlines C. R. Smith Museum, Don Pyeatt, local aviation historian, aviation author, and key player in many North Texas aviation related history preservation projects, will give a presentation on the "Nuclear B-36".

This government project involved modifying a Convair B-36 to transport an operating non-propulsion nuclear reactor for flight research and proof of safety technology.

This aircraft was designated as NB-36H and flew many missions to gather data and support the concept of possible nuclear propulsion with virtual unlimited operating range. Don's dedication to aviation history pays dividends through his informative and entertaining programs. An added bonus to Don's program will be a current pictoral update on the status of the last production B-36 named "City of Fort Worth" which received an extended restoration by dedicated volunteers at Lockheed Martin Fort Worth. This rare B-36 is now on display at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson, Arizona.
Bring a friend to enjoy this public invited free program.
