If you were concerned about what COVID-19 meant for this year’s Bell Fort Worth Alliance Air Show, you can breathe easy.
Alliance Air Productions announced it would host a Drive-In Air Show, according to a press release. Scheduled for Oct. 17-18 at Fort Worth Alliance Airport, this year also marks the 30th anniversary of the Bell Fort Worth Alliance Air Show, which features the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.
A limited number of parking tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis in mid-September, and no parking tickets will be sold on-site, according to a press release.
“The circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic provided the unique opportunity to be innovative in how to move forward with hosting the air show for the North Texas community,” says Christina Carey, director of special projects for Alliance Air Productions, via press release. “Our newly reformatted event will be a memorable, fun and socially distanced drive-in experience as we celebrate 30 years of soaring excellence.”
At the show, each vehicle will be separated, allowing for a space for the vehicle and a space for guests to sit safely and picnic. There will also be restrooms and hand wash stations on-site for guests. Masks will be required.
Tickets will go on sale in mid-September at AllianceAirShow.com.
