The surrounding portion of the wall was quickly eroded straight through, emptying 250 million gallons of water into the surrounding neighborhood in a few hours.

October 2004 - TAA bid adios to the 1961 Caravelle jet aircraft that was purchased over 18 years ago for $1 from Viscount Services. The vintage plane has been used by the airport fire and police personnel for training exercises simulating passenger rescue. Developed in 1955 by the French Sud Aviation firm, the plane is generally considered to be the first jet airliner design and was one of the most successful jetliners sold throughout Europe for several years. A total of 279 Caravelles of all types were built. James Scroggins, president of Scroggins Aviation, Inc., is removing the aircraft and replacing it with a more modern DC-9 or B737 at no cost. One of only a few Caravelles remaining in the U.S., the aircraft will be restored and displayed in an aviation museum in Las Vegas.]]> Sud Aviation Caravelle

The McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II is a family of second-generation vertical/short takeoff and landing or V/STOL jet multirole aircraft of the late 20th century. British Aerospace rejoined the project in the early 1980s, and it is currently managed by Boeing/BAE Systems since the 1990s.

Developed from the earlier Hawker Siddeley Harriers, it is primarily used for light attack or multi-role tasks, typically operated from small aircraft carriers. Versions are used by several NATO countries, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and the United States.

Though it shares the designation letter number with the earlier AV-8 Harrier, the AV-8B Harrier II was extensively redesigned by McDonnell Douglas.]]> Royal Air Force McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II in flight

Only visible in the north and west birds-eye-views. In the south BEV and aerial views (LL and google), you can see a business that was recently built on this property.

This was a 1/4 mile clay oval that closed in 2003. Sprints, modifieds, winged midgets, and stock cars raced here.]]> North Texas Motor Speedway
