Today in Texas History - January 13

On this date in 1974 the airport now known as Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport officially opened. Efforts from 1940 to 1965 to build and operate an airport between Dallas and Fort Worth had failed to satisfy the rival cities, which sometimes operated separate facilities. The FAA declared itself fed up, and in 1965 the Civil Aeronautics Board ordered the two cities to agree on a location for a regional airport. Construction began in December 1968.

I drove out there with a girlfriend to see the Concord Land during some sort of opening ceremony, it was that big of a deal.

A couple of miles to the south, 183 crosses over the only remaining piece of runway belonging to Greater Southwest/Amon Carter Field.

How often did you have to stop and water the horses?

I make it a point to look for that every time we drive out that way.

Never heard it put that way.
