USMC Osprey
The tilt-rotor aircraft is one of the Marine Corps' newest combat-tested aircraft and will be available for spectators to take pictures besides, while pilots and crewmembers will be available to answer questions. The mission of the Osprey is to transport troops, equipment and supplies from assault ships and land bases. The Osprey is a multi-engine, dual-piloted, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), medium lift aircraft designed for combat, combat support and combat service support. The capabilities of the MV-22 were highlighted during the aircrafts' first deployment in expeditionary air operations in 2009 in support of the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

MK-4 British Jet Provost
With a top speed of 440 mph, excellent maneuverability, mechanical reliability and low operating costs, the Jet Provost was an outstanding example of its type. Retired from the military, the Jet Provost is now a popular and inexpensive jet for warbird enthusiasts in England, the Netherlands, Australia and the USA.

Hixson Flight Museum
The Museum of Flight in Hixson opened on May 25, 2010. The 18,000 sq. ft. facility is located right beside the 3,005 ft. runway at Dallas Bay Skypark (1A0) where the aircraft is work on. The T-28 Bravo aircraft with its new Marine Corps paint job and all the necessary mock-up gear to outfit the T-28 for combat will be displayed at this year's Air Show.

T-34C Turbo Mentor
The T-34C aircraft is an unpressurized two-place, tandem cockpit low-wing
single-engine monoplane manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The
primary mission of the T-34C is to provide primary flight training for
student pilots attached to the Chief of Naval Air Training. As a secondary
mission, approximately 10% of the aircraft provides pilot proficiency and
other aircraft support services to AIRLANT, AIRPAC, and NAVAIR "satellite
sites" operated throughout CONUS.

TH-57 Sea Ranger
The primary mission of TH-57 is to train student Naval aviators in the
fundamentals of helicopter flight for their transition to operational fleet
aircraft in the U. S. Navy, U. S. Marine Corps, and selected international
armed forces. Although primarily used for training, these aircraft are also
used for photo, chase, and utility missions. The aircraft is powered by one
Allison Gas Turbine 250-C20J turboshaft engine downrated to 317 shaft
horsepower.

T-6 Texan II
The T-6A also replaced all T-34Cs with Training Air Wing SIX at Naval Air
Station Pensacola in early 2005. T-6Bs began replacing T-34Cs as the primary
trainer with Training Air Wing FIVE at NAS Whiting Field in the late summer
of 2009 and the installation will operate both aircraft as it transitions
over the next few years. Training Air Wing FOUR at NAS Corpus Christi will
continue to operate the T-34C as the primary trainer, with the arrival of
the T-6B scheduled for that location in 2012. On May 18, 2010, Training Wing
5 had the first training flight of a T-6B.

Nanchang CJ-6A
This Aircraft was the primary trainer used from the late 1950's through the mid 1970's in China and the former Soviet Union. Interesting to note is the limited fuel capacity, this was in an effort to keep pilots with an urge to defect to have enough flying time to train but not enough to reach the borders of their country! This aircraft performs much like the Beechcraft Bonanza T-34. As the performance below show, this aircraft is an excellent trainer with good low speed handling for landings and fighter like performance in the air.
